Rodríguez Ruiz, MayraOrozco Gutiérrez, Lázara de la Caridad2021-12-132021-12-132021https://dspace.uclv.edu.cu/handle/123456789/12972Hedging devices are among essential elements of academic writing for supporting or rejecting hypotheses or theories. Therefore, the aim of this diploma paper is to propose a bank of useful phrases for hedging in the Introduction and Discussion sections of theses and dissertations in English. In order to accomplish that aim, a thirty (30) theses/dissertations corpus taken from the websites of Brigham Young University, Portland State University, and The University of Edinburgh was compiled and manually processed to assure whether a word functions as a hedge or not. The bank will help improve students‟ proficiency when writing research papers, term papers and diploma papers throughout their study years and future professional careers.en-USEste documento es Propiedad Patrimonial de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas.
