Descripción automática: In this video hedging expressions in academic English are discussed. Hedging is essential in establishing a distance between the claim or statement and the writer or speaker. The video covers three main areas: thought closers, language of probability, and typical hedging expressions.
The first area focuses on thought closers that can be used to distance oneself from an argument or opinion. These expressions can be flexible and are useful in formal English. The second area explores the language of probability, which allows for caution and less assertiveness when expressing possibilities. This includes verbs such as "can," "may," "might," and "could," as well as words like "possible" and "probable."
The video also presents various hedging expressions that can be used to establish a distance with the statement, including fixed expressions and connectors that link different parts of a sentence.
