metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article actualises the connection between the category of politeness and the
  category of expert evaluation seen as a special discursive evaluation variety in the scientific
  and expert socio-communicative practice. (De)intensifiers of evaluation — lexical
  and grammatical means used for strengthening or softening of categorical character
  of evaluative statements in the academic reviews — are considered as elements
  of politeness strategies, aimed at maintaining of the reviewer’s and author’s image. The
  necessity of polite scientific expert communication is explained by the parameters of
  socio-communicative situation, in which academic journal reviews are embedded,
  first of all, by the fact that the new scientific knowledge presented in reviews has not
  yet been verified and is therefore particularly vulnerable to criticism. Due to image
  risks, reviewers are expected to perform cooperative communicative behavior in order
  to mitigate the effects of criticism. The study of evaluation (de)intensifiers as politeness
  markers is embedded in the modern discourse-linguistic and socio-communicative
  research paradigm. The research relevance is also explained by the insufficient comparative
  study of (de)intensification in the evaluative language. The qualitative-quantitative
  content analysis of 50 German- and Russian-language academic reviews in
  linguistics allows to highlight the means of (de)intensification of expert evaluation
  and to present them as center-periphery models (depending on the frequency of lexical
  and grammatical units in the data). In addition, the inclusion of these means into
  certain strategies of positive and negative politeness is considered. The hypothesis of linguistic and cultural specificity in the use of contextual (de)intensifiers of evaluation
  is confirmed.
