In this paper, we propose to make some categorizations for pragmatic analysis of mitigation in the medical-scientific text. We tried to apply the pattern of mitigation presented by Caffi (2001) to medical-scientific text, by analyzing some articles in the British Medical Journal. We propose a classification of two types of strategies, bushes (cespugli) and hedges (siepi), and some thoughts about the relationship between bushes and vagueness and between hedges and evidentiality.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose to make some categorizations for pragmatic analysis of mitigation in the medical-scientific text. We tried to apply the pattern of mitigation presented by Caffi (2001) to medical-scientific text, by analyzing some articles in the British Medical Journal. We propose a classification of two types of strategies, bushes (cespugli) and hedges (siepi), and some thoughts about the relationship between bushes and vagueness and between hedges and evidentiality.File in questo prodotto:
