This document summarizes a study that compares the frequency and types of hedges used in the Discussion sections of research articles in Environmental Sciences. The study analyzed 60 research articles written in English by English researchers, Iranian researchers writing in English, and Iranian researchers writing in Farsi. The study found no significant differences in hedge use between English and Iranian authors writing in English. However, it did find significant differences between English and Farsi written articles, which may be due to differences in how certainty is expressed in Farsi versus international academic discourse norms. The study used Salager-Meyer's taxonomy to analyze hedges.

Authority And Invisibility Authorial Identity In Academic WritingAudrey Britton
The document discusses authorial identity in academic writing. It explores how writers construct credible representations of themselves through their use of language to align with disciplinary identities. The most visible manifestation of authorial identity is the use of first person pronouns like "I", but many second language writers feel uncomfortable using these forms that assert authority. The study examines the use of first person pronouns in undergraduate theses from Hong Kong students compared to research articles. It finds significant underuse of authorial reference by students who prefer avoiding forms that make arguments or claims, suggesting the individual identity implied by "I" may be problematic for many second language writers.

An Investigation of the Reading Text ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ (Long Live Pakistan)...Bahram Kazemian
This paper is a critical study in Critical Discourse Analysis paradigm of a Textbook prescribed for intermediate students (Second Language Learners) in Government Colleges affiliated to the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. The textbook contains selected texts to improve students reading skills integrated with writing activities. Each of the texts contains questions at the end to be answered. It is observed that the reading tasks are badly designed and there is no mental activity to involve students in the text discourse. The study focuses on critical discourse of the underlying text to inspect whether the text reading involves students in the critical discourse or not; it also attempts to analyze the Reading Text ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ to identify problems showing the gap and unawareness on the part of teachers and students regarding the critical discourse of the text in classroom reading context. It is also suggested that teachers need to bring about a change in their traditional teaching methods in order to tackle the issue. The awareness of critical discourse analysis is recommended on the part of the teachers in order to analyze and understand the real meaning of the text. In result, it may develop the critical approach which is very essential for a reader.

An Analysis Of Interactional Metadiscourse Markers On COVID-19 Vaccine Hesita...Andrew Parish
This document summarizes an academic article that analyzes interactional metadiscourse markers in 20 COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy op-ed articles from Filipino news sources. The study found attitude markers, engagement markers, and hedges were used more frequently than boosters and self-mentions. While the subcategories of Hyland's metadiscourse framework varied in frequency of use, the rhetorical nature of op-ed articles was found to be strong and consistent due to the collective culture and established discourse between writer and reader in the context. The document recommends comparing articles from different contexts to understand differences in rhetorical techniques.
This document summarizes and compares three academic writing genres: opinion, discussion, and argumentative essays. It finds that opinion essays are the weakest at persuading readers, while argumentative essays are the strongest. Discussion essays take a neutral position. The document also examines the generic structures and language features of each genre, finding they differ in their point of view, organization, and tone. The goal is to clarify the differences between these genres to help both students and teachers understand and apply them effectively.

Examining the Use of Metadiscourse Markers in Academic WritingPremier Publishers
Acquiring proficiency in academic writing is becoming increasingly important for academics, irrespective of the academic discipline, given that publications in highly rated, peer-reviewed international journals have a profound impact on how knowledge is constructed through the process of writing. In academic writing, the use of metadiscourse markers is fundamental since academic writers have to write in such a way that they are able to skilfully distinguish opinion from fact. At the same time, they have to assess their affirmations in suitable and convincing ways. Considering the afore-mentioned, this article examines the use of metadiscourse markers in academic writing in which special attention is paid to the use of hedges and boosters. It is a general analysis and mini-review of the use of metadiscourse markers in academic writing. One empirical research article, from the field of Applied Linguistics, is used for this purpose. An introduction is given about academic writing and the need to use metadiscourse markers. Literature review based on metadiscourse markers in academic writing, with particular emphasis on hedges and boosters, is presented and discussed. The methodology of the study is outlined. The results show that there is a greater use of interactives than interactionals: with regard to interactive markers, transitional/logical connectives were most used, followed by endophoric markers, evidentials, and code glosses; with respect to interactional markers, hedges and boosters were the most used in this category with more hedges used as compared to boosters. Finally, concluding remarks are made about the analysis conducted.
Pragmatics and discourse analysis are closely related fields that both study language in use and context-dependent aspects of language. While they overlap considerably, pragmatics focuses more on utterances and speech acts, and recovering a speaker's intended meaning based on context. Discourse analysis examines longer stretches of language and how units are combined. Discourse pragmatics represents the intersection between the two fields. Key differences are that pragmatics considers context as dynamic while discourse analysis views it as more static, and pragmatics emphasizes inferring a speaker's intention across contexts. Both fields have evolved over time with different approaches emerging.

This document summarizes a research study that analyzed how postgraduate students from Turkey, Britain, and Turkish students writing in English establish their authorial presence in discussion sections of dissertations. The study analyzed 90 dissertations total from the three groups, looking at both explicit mentions using first-person pronouns and implicit mentions using passive voice and impersonal constructions. The quantitative analysis found that Turkish students and Turkish students writing in English preferred implicit mentions to create a more impersonal impression, while British students used more explicit mentions for a more self-prominent academic prose. The qualitative analysis provided some evidence that all three groups used explicit and implicit mentions to accomplish common discourse functions in discussion sections.

This demonstrated that reviewers tended to directly evaluate the books, rather than judge authors or express personal feelings. While some subjectivity was present, the reviews balanced subjectivity and objectivity expected in academic writing. The findings expand understanding of Appraisal Theory and have implications for applied linguistics education.
