"BSTRACT\r\nHedging plays a significant role in conveying the message of a text, since it\r\nemphasizes the subjectivity of a statement by presenting it in the form of opinion.\r\nFurthermore, the existence of meta-discourse creates communication in a text is\r\nnot only about exchanging information, but also involving the writers’ and readers’\r\npersonalities, attitude and assumption. This research employs descriptive\r\nqualitative method to figure out the use of three hedging types proposed by Meyer\r\n(1994) in 10 last semester students’ background of research proposal. This\r\nresearch is guided by a single research question “What types of hedging appeared\r\nin background of the study of research proposal?” to accomplish the aim of this\r\nresearch, which is to find out the types of hedging appeared in it. Moreover,\r\ndocumentation, questionnaire, and interview are applied as the instruments to gain\r\nthe data of this research. Eventually, the result shows that two out of three types\r\nof hedging are found in students’ background of research proposal, which are\r\nshields and approximators. Additionally, shields in the form of modal auxiliary\r\nare the most frequently used in it.\r\nKeywords: Meta-discourse analysis, hedging, background of the study, research\r\nproposal."^^ .
