Buku Meta Discourse in Academic Writing mengkaji secara mendalam peran hedges dan boosters sebagai sumber metadiskursus dalam abstrak artikel ilmiah lintas disiplin. Berangkat dari perspektif linguistik wacana, pragmatik, dan linguistik terapan, buku ini menunjukkan bagaimana pilihan leksikal dan gramatikal digunakan penulis untuk menegosiasikan sikap, kredibilitas, dan identitas akademik. Melalui analisis deskriptif-kualitatif terhadap abstrak bidang kebidanan, teknik, dan ilmu sosial, buku ini memetakan variasi bentuk dan fungsi hedging serta boosting dalam konteks disipliner yang berbeda. Selain kontribusi teoretis dan empiris, buku ini juga menawarkan implikasi pedagogis dan panduan praktis untuk pengajaran penulisan akademik di pendidikan tinggi.
