Povzetek

V članku najprej primerjamo rabo epistemskih naklonskih prislovov v doktorskih disertacijah v humanistiki in družboslovju po eni strani ter naravoslovnih in tehničnih znanosti po drugi v korpusu slovenskih znanstvenih besedil KAS (Erjavec idr., 2019a). Z naključnim vzorčenjem korpusnih zgledov pokažemo, da so tisti naklonski prislovi, ki skoraj izključno izkazujejo epistemski pomen in se posledično uporabljajo kot ti. pragmatični omejevalci (angl. hedges), najbolj značilni za doktorske disertacije v humanistiki in družboslovju. Pokažemo tudi, da neepistemski dispozicijski pomen naklonske možnosti, ki se najpogosteje pojavlja v naravoslovju in tehničnih vedah, ni rabljen kot pragmatični omejevalec. V drugem delu članka primerjamo rabo epistemskih naklonskih prislovov v diplomskih in magistrskih delih ter doktorskih disertacijah z namenom, da ugotovimo, ali se pristop do podajanja in prikazovanja izsledkov z vidika pragmatičnega omejevanja v znanstvenem diskurzu spreminja glede na izkušenost avtorjev z znanstvenim pisanjem. Pokažemo, da doktorski študentje pogosteje uporabljajo naklonske prislove v omejevalni funkciji, za kar trdimo, da je posledica vsebinskih in konceptualnih razlik med diplomskimi in magistrskimi nalogami po eni strani ter doktorskimi nalogami po drugi, saj v okviru Bolonjske reforme zgolj slednje morajo obvezno predstaviti izvirni znanstveni prispevek, katerega poglavitni cilj je poglobljena predstavitev novih rezultatov.
