    Category-based hedges pose considerable interpretive difficulty, not only for language learners but even for some experts. To better understand how such expressions are processed, this study investigates Chinese EFL learners’ comprehension of six hedges (strictly speaking, loosely speaking, in that, sort of, typical, and technically) in semantic-pragmatic tasks. 125 university students with high-level English proficiency completed a judgment task with a supplementary revision task. The Rasch analysis revealed great variability in item difficulty, with items involving in that and loosely speaking emerging as the most challenging, and suggested that many learners with high-level English proficiency failed to notice the semantic-pragmatic constraints of hedges. The generalized linear mixed modeling (GLMM) results showed that frequency of exposure was the only significant predictor of judgment accuracy, supporting usage-based accounts that emphasize repeated input. In contrast, English majors displayed higher revision accuracy in the supplementary revision task, suggesting that output-based tasks need greater metalinguistic awareness. The study contributes new item-level and learner-level insights into hedge processing and suggests pedagogical directions for enhancing learners’ sensitivity to category-based hedges.
