摘要
模糊限制语的主要语用特征体现在其表达的不确定性方面 ,而在科技论文写作中作者恰恰需要利用这种表达的不确定性来达到自己的目的。本文首先回顾了在科技论文中模糊限制语的使用情况以及目前研究的趋势 ,然后从两个方面探讨了模糊限制语的主要语用功能 :1 .如何准确陈述观点、恰到好处地表现命题 ;2 .如何保护作者的面子。
Indeterminacy is the principal pragmatic feature of hedging, which is used frequently in scientific article writing. This paper first has a brief look at the history of the using of hedges in scientific research articles and also at its current research tendency, and then discusses its main pragmatic features from two aspects: 1) how propositions are appropriately conveyed; 2) how the author protects his own face and acquires the ratification from readers to his new ideas at the same time.
