Prostriedky atenuácie zamerané na obsah v akademickej angličtine vygenerovanej ChatGPT

Kobzová, Dorothea

The aim of this diploma thesis is to compare the use of content-oriented hedges in published articles from the Journal of Pragmatics with their equivalents generated by the artificial intelligence language model ChatGPT. Content-oriented hedges are devices of academic discourse that help authors communicate their results truthfully, only at the level for which they have evidence for. The means through which this type of hedging can be expressed include epistemic modal verbs and epistemic adverbs, which are used in this thesis to compare the frequency and diversity of content-oriented hedges in the discussions/conclusions of published articles with their respective equivalents generated by ChatGPT. The most important finding is that the content-oriented hedges used by ChatGPT do not appear as frequently and with such variety as in published articles. This result is supported mainly by significant differences found in the use of epistemic adverbs in the ChatGPT corpus. As a whole, the thesis attempts to contribute to the study of academic discourse produced by artificial intelligence, namely the language model ChatGPT.
