It should be admitted here that the research results presented in the article are limited due to a small size of the corpus. Further research involving longer periods would be required to verify findings on diachronic variation in the metadiscourse patterns. Hedges could be also investigated from other perspectives. It would be interesting to compare the distribution of hedges in English-and Russia-medium RA abstracts by Russian scholars. In this way, we will be able to reveal differences in the employment of hedges in the international and national academic contexts and provide novice writers with guiding principles regarding hedging in academic prose. Cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary variation in the use of hedges in RA abstracts could be also of interest. This study focused on only one type of interactional metadiscourse. Further research into other metadiscourse markers, such as boosters, self-mentions, or attitude markers, would broaden the scope. Last but not least, future research could involve interviews of academic writers to analyze considerations they take into account when using metadiscourse in their English-or Russian-medium research articles. Thus, despite the above-mentioned limitations, this study could be seen as a starting point for future studies of metadiscourse in academic prose from cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural or diachronic perspectives.
