This paper attempts to depict a general picture of hedging devices by looking into related research. To be more specific, it will focus on three main dimensions: 1) an overview of the definition and different classifications of hedging devices; and 2) applications of hedging devices in different cultural contexts. By examining critical aspects of hedges, suggestions relating to teaching writing with hedges will be given at the end of this paper.
