Abstract
This thesis is an attempt to investigate the effect of gender on the use of hedging in some selected TV interviews in Arabic and English. It also seeks to pinpoint the role of context of situation in determining the use of different types of hedging in discourse in general and the genre of TV interviews in particular. In the light of Brown and Levinson's politeness theory and with the application of a combination of hedging taxonomies, hedging devices in twenty TV interviews in Arabic and English are analyzed. By using the frequency count and percentage, hedging types and their frequency are extracted in the selected TV interviews under discussion.
