Abstract

Abstract: Exclusion qualifiers are linguistic tools that limit or modify the scope of a statement, allowing speakers or writers to exclude certain aspects without outright falsification. This study explores the use of exclusion qualifiers in different contexts, including everyday conversation, academic writing, and legal discourse. Through syntactic analysis, the research examines how these qualifiers function and their effect on meaning, clarity, and interpretation. Findings suggest that exclusion qualifiers are used strategically to withhold information, generalize claims, and create ambiguity in varying contexts.
