paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines599 - : ion. ^[70]Peacock (2006) points out that the above verbs can clearly be considered as boosters because they emphasise a writer’s certainty and commitment. However, he notes that this type of booster fulfils two functions: they express evidential truth but also play a rhetorical role .

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines599 - : One of the most interesting of Peacock’s findings was the identification of booster clusters, the use of which resulted in a notable increase in the persuasive force of boosting. Regarding the cross-disciplinary variation in the frequency of booster use, writers in the two sciences (Physics and Materials Science, as well as Environmental Science) used a much higher proportion of boosters of the “evidential or implicit truth” type (^[92]Peacock, 2006: 73 ), such as ‘show’, ‘demonstrate’, ‘find’ or ‘establish’ than authors in other disciplines. Peacock suggests that writers in sciences seek to minimise their personal involvement in their findings and appear more objective, which is in accordance with ^[93]Hyland’s (1998a) line of argumentation. In addition, however, they present their claims as evidential, that is, fully based on convincing data rather than being attributable to the writer’s persuasive skills. The author argues that the choice of the verbs mentioned may reflect a disti

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines599 - : A similar number of verb boosters was used in each corpus: 16 in Engineering, 14 in Medicine and 15 in Linguistics (see [117]Table 5 ). Fourteen of the verbs identified were overlapping items in the three corpora: ‘show’, ‘determine’, ‘demonstrate’, ‘prove’, ‘hold’, ‘stress’, ‘establish’, ‘highlight’, ‘conclude’, ‘reveal’, ‘confirm’, ‘know’, ‘emphasise’ and ‘underscore’. It can be argued, therefore, that these verbs tend to perform boosting functions regardless of the field, at least as far as Engineering, Medicine and Linguistics are concerned. Only one verb, ‘indicate’ was found in Engineering and Linguistics, but not in Medicine, and ‘assert’ was used exclusively as a booster in Engineering. In this sense, the variations found for the three fields are notably small.

: Once the corpora had been tagged, they were queried for verb booster tags using the same online tool. In the last stage of this study, the concordances obtained were examined manually in order to analyse the co-text of boosters and evaluate their pragmatic functions. |
