Abstract
Hedges and boosters are essential linguistic devices that can be used in oral and written discourses. Hedges are important in conversing politely and cautiously, expressing the speaker’s or writer’s uncertainty, and convincing others of their statements. Boosters demonstrate the speaker’s or writer’s confidence, reinforce statements, and persuade others of their statements. This article studies linguistic devices: “Hedges” and “boosters” in communications and academic writings.
