Abstract

In this paper, we aim to make a meta discursive analysis of the interaction category hedges in academic thesis, having as theorical support the Hyland’s proposal. We want to verify how the authors present their position in the text. The analysis of the hedges was done in nine thesis of the students of the StrictuSensu graduate program in Letters of a federal university of Minas Gerais, but of different fields. We consider that the researchers of each field are positioned in their texts in different ways.
