    En esta contribución, proponemos avanzar algunas propuestas para un análisis pragmático de la mitigación en el texto médico-científico. Hemos intentado reajustar el modelo de mitigación Caffi (2001) al texto médico-científico escrito, analizando algunos artículos del British Medical Journal. Proponemos una clasificación de dos tipos de mitigadores, bushes y hedges, y algunas reflexiones sobre la relación entre los arbustos y la incertidumbre y entre las coberturas y la evidencia.

    In questo contributo, ci proponiamo di avanzare alcune proposte per un’analisi pragmatica della mitigazione nel testo medico-scientifico. Abbiamo cercato di riadattare il modello della mitigazione di Caffi (2001) al testo scritto medico-scientifico, analizzando alcuni articoli del British Medical Journal. Proponiamo una classificazione di due tipi di mitigatori, i bushes (cespugli) e gli hedges (siepi), e alcune riflessioni circa il rapporto tra bushes e incertezza e tra hedges ed evidenzialità.

    In this paper, we propose to make some categorizations for pragmatic analysis of mitigation in the medical-scientific text. We tried to apply the pattern of mitigation presented by Caffi (2001) to medical-scientific text, by analyzing some articles in the British Medical Journal. We propose a classification of two types of strategies, bushes (cespugli) and hedges (siepi), and some thoughts about the relationship between bushes and vagueness and between hedges and evidentiality.
