ABSTRACT

The text focused on the ambiguity of the syntax of dependent nouns ‘deung’, and analyzed the pattern in which the syntax functions as a hedge. The syntax was classified according to degree of ambiguity, and its semantic function. The syntax was analyzed in detail in relation to the context of 'information presentation' and 'inference and guesswork'. As a result, we could see that the syntax relieves the writer's responsibility for the content of the statement and allows him to form a cooperative relationship with the reader. Starting with a review of the meaning of the dependent noun ‘Deung’, we discussed the ambiguity of the syntax of dependent nouns ‘deung’, and systematically discussed meaning function combined with genre of academic text. This study is intended to reveal what specific language expressions mean in a particular genre of text. These attempts are different from existing hedge studies that focused on an approach from 'entire' to 'items'. Another achievement of this study is the discovery of strategic language resources by paying attention to dependent nouns ‘deung’, which have not received much attention before.
