As an example, the writer reveals his own ideas when he uses illocution markers like I recommend that, or I believe that, or, by using hedges like perhaps, might, and apparently and emphatics such as clearly, undoubtedly, and surely, which allows the writer to send signals to the reader about whether he is doubtful or sure about what he is pointing out. It may also enhance our ability to distinguish in fiction between the illocution and the perlocution, though that may be to consider the same speech act from different angles. Although such a formulation "reduces the immediacy and directness of the illocution, and at the same time the precision of reference that a first- and second-person view affords", it increases the range of things and ideas that may be expressed and permits abstract classification (Trosborg 1997: 35). |
