This study aims to investigate the use of amplifiers in term of gender and disciplinary groups in academic research arti?cles, which is based on the British Academic Written English Corpus (BAWE).18 amplifiers were examined across two dimen?sions:gender and disciplinary groups. The results show amplifiers are more common in males’ academic writings than in those of females in general, amplifiers are used more often in AH discipline. However, not all amplifiers show significant gender differ?ences between men and women. Six words show a significant difference between male and female writers:pretty, by far, perfect?ly, quite, a great deal, totally, which are used more often by males. However, the interesting is in LS discipline, most amplifiers are used more often by female than male writers and males tend to use by far more frequently than females.
