模糊限制语在学术论文写作中有举足轻重的作用,它可以使学术论文的论述更客观,语气更婉转,更容易让人接受。为观察分析中国作者在撰写英语学术论文和修改过程中使用模糊限制语的变化情况,笔者收集了10篇在国际权威期刊上已发表的学术论文作为语料,并收集到每篇论文的初稿、修改稿和发表稿。然后结合Hyland对学术论文中模糊限制语的定义和分类方法,对这10篇论文在写作和修改过程中模糊限制语在频次、种类和分布方面的变化进行了定性和定量研究。研究结果表明,中国作者在写作和修改英文学术论文过程中,模糊限制语的使用的确发生了变化:①发表稿中模糊限制语的出现频次普遍高于初稿和修改稿;②类型上说,可靠型和作者倾向型模糊限制语使用最频繁,且随着修改过程不断增加,而读者倾向型使用得最少;③在写作和修改过程中,中国作者不断变化其对模糊限制语的使用。
