SOFTENING THE WORDS OF CRISIS:
HEDGING IN ECONOMICS RELATED ARTICLES
PUBLISHED ON THE INTERNET
Abstract: In applied linguistics the ability of being intentionally vague
has been recognized as a crucial component of communicative competence.
Vagueness can be achieved through hedging, a technique widely used in a wide
variety of disciplinary discourses including the economic discourse. The
objective of this work is to analyse articles on the World Economic Crisis
published on the Internet and determine whether the authors writing about the
crisis use hedging. When writing about issues which may lead to controversial
reactions, writers tend to be cautious, softening their own claims when they feel
uncertain of the facts they present.
Key words: hedging, the World Economic Crisis, the Internet, genre-
analysis, corpus-based analysis
