Zusammenfassung	Speculation detection, also known as hedging analysis, is a natural-language-processing task that identifies epistemic uncertainty markers — words and phrases such as 'may', 'possibly', 'it is suggested that' — within scientific, biomedical, and news texts. Formalised by Hyland (1996) for scientific writing and benchmarked by the CoNLL-2010 shared task, the method reveals where authors signal incomplete knowledge, tentativeness, or distance from a claim rather than asserting facts directly.	Discourse analysis is a qualitative research methodology that examines how language, communication, and power shape meaning, identity, and social reality. Developed across linguistics, sociology, and psychology (particularly by Norman Fairclough and Jonathan Potter), discourse analysis goes beyond content to analyze language use as a social practice that constitutes and reflects power relations, ideologies, and social structures.
