At the “Oriental meetings in Sosnowiec” conference in Sosnowiec, Poland, our members Agnieszka Ziora and Dominik Gęgotek presented a paper titled Hedging in Multicultural Discourse Based on an Open Source Project – Zotero. The main goal of this paper was the analysis of the multicultural online discourse, with special emphasis on the phenomenon of hedging. The study was based on one chosen open source project – Zotero. In the theoretical part of the presentation concepts such as hedging, politeness, negative and positive face were presented and described. The practical part of the presentation focused on the analysis of hedges in source code reviews and comments. The methodology included qualitative and quantitative analysis. The paper showed that discussions in the Zotero project are conducted through turn-taking and anyone can take part in the discussion – including both volunteers and coordinators. Hedge phrases were abundant in the messages of volunteers and coordinators alike. The most popular hedge phrases found were: ‘I think’, ‘probably’, ‘seems’ and ‘maybe’. Additionally an increased use of the ‘we’ pronoun could be noticed in the messages of coordinators.
