| dc.description.abstract | To examine usage, distribution and function of gender-related
epistemic modality in the form of hedges and boosters in political
interviews and compare the present findings with those of previous
studies.
Methods: A comparative, quantitative study of Canadian politicians’ use of
epistemic modality in TV/video interviews along with a qualitative
analysis of reasons for choosing the respective hedging or boosting
devices in the interview situation.
Material: Transcripts of 6 TV/video interviews with Canadian politicians.
Main results: Contrary to pioneering gender research observations and my hypotheses
formulated accordingly for this study, the data analysis of the Canadian
Political Interview Corpus (CaPIC) showed only marginal deviations in
gender-specific use of hedges and boosters. | sv |
