The article is devoted to the use of hedges and hedging constructions in scientific articles on economics written in English, Turkish and French. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of the use of hedging markers in multilingual scientific articles on economic topics in terms of their argumentative component during the presentation of new scientific content by the author. Particular attention is paid to the pragmatic component of hedging within the framework of scientific discourse during the analysis of what communicative effect hedges and hedging constructions produce on the addressee, what is their functional specificity in different sections of scientific articles, how the author achieves his goals through the use of them. Analysis of hedging is carried out taking into account the norms and requirements for scientific articles, the communicative component and the process of establishing an implicit dialogue between the author of the article and a potential addressee, the pragmatic potential of hedges within the framework of the argumentation process and the author's hypothetical judgments. In addition, various aspects of the modality of hedges and hedging constructions and their semantics are illustrated, as well as the role of the use of subjective-evaluative and emphasizing formulas, belonging to the category of hedging, in scientific articles on economics.
