We use hedges to soften what we say or write. Hedges are an important part of polite conversation. They make what we say less direct. The most
common forms of hedging involve tense and aspect, modal expressions including modal verbs and adverbs, vague language such as sort of and kind of,
and some verbs. Another study, for instance, made a distinction between “fillers” and “hedges”, with sort of classified as a hedge, while well and you see
were described as ‘meaningless particles’ and assigned to the same category as ‘pause fillers’ such us uhm, um, oh, and ah.Holmes, 2001:286
