Hedges in Biology Research Articles:
What Types and Frequency do Algerian Authors Use ?
Mots-clés :
article de recherche, hedging, biologistes Algériens, type et fréquenceRésumé
Cette étude se propose d’examiner l’utilisation des marqueurs linguistiques (hedging) dans les articles scientifiques écrits par des auteurs Algériens. Dans ce but, un corpus de 31 articles en biologie, parus dans 5 revues de publication locale, a été analysé en termes de type, de fréquence et de répartition. L'analyse quantitative indique que leurs auteurs utilisent différents types de marqueurs dans des proportions différentes. Cependant, la catégorie « Verbes principaux », plus précisément, la sous-catégorie « les verbes introducteurs de citation » est le type de marqueur le plus fréquemment utilisé. Les résultats de cette analyse suggèrent que ce choix rhétorique (prévalence de cette catégorie) permet aux chercheurs d’appuyer et de valider les résultats de leurs propres travaux. Les implications de cette étude contribuent à développer de nouvelles compétences dans l’enseignement de l’Anglais scientifique.
