Influências na escrita do gênero abstract: a questão das fronteiras interdisciplinares.

The purpose of this paper is to show how important it is to consider intradisciplinary features - a discipline and its characteristics - and interdisciplinary features - the relationship between this discipline and others that it intertwines with in science. We analyzed, both rhetorically (GIL, 2011) and linguistically (HYLAND, 1998, 2004, 2002, 2012), 24 abstracts taken from two journals on Language and Linguistics. The results show that, in spite of being part of Human Sciences, in the journals concerned, Language and Linguistics features interface with Biological disciplines, which add their scientific beliefs in their practices and influence on rhetoric and modalization - the use of hedges and boosters - in published abstracts.
