VIDEO 1: THE IMPORTANCE OF HEDGING Publishing a research should be thought of as making a contribution to the ongoing dialogue in your field or discipline. The focus of all research is problem-solving and collaboration and teamwork often expedite this process. The most useful contributions are made in such a way where the primary writer or researchers will receive credit for his or her unique and original contribution but will also leave room for others to add to the dialogue to build off points made earlier to refine them and reinterpret them. One way to achieve this is through the effective use of HEDGING. Definition of hedging Lakoff defined it as words whose job it is to make things more or less fuzzy. Words that can make statement less clear or absolute Hyland wrote that Hedging is the expression of tentativeness and possibility in language use.

BOOK: Yule, G. (2010). The study of Language. U.K.: CUP. Chapter 1: " The origin of Language" There is not register that can indicate how language originated, but it is suspected that some spoken language must have developed between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago.
