A cutting-edge, new in paperback title which presents the first
corpus-based account of evaluation. Evaluation is the linguistic
expression of speaker/writer opinion, and has only recently become
the focus of linguistic analysis. This book presents the first
corpus-based account of evaluation: one hundred newspaper articles
collated to form a 70,000 word comparable corpus, drawn from both
tabloid and broadsheet media. The book provides detailed
explanations and justifications of the underlying framework of
evaluation, as well as demonstrating how this is part of the larger
framework of media discourse. Unlike many other linguistic analyses
of media language, it makes frequent reference to the production
circumstances of newspaper discourse, in particular the so-called
'news values' that shape the creation of the news.Cutting-edge and
insightful, "Evaluation in Media Discourse" will be of interest to
academics and researchers in corpus linguistics and media
discourse.The Editorial Board includes: Paul Baker (Lancaster),
Frantisek Cermak (Prague), Susan Conrad (Portland), Geoffrey Leech
(Lancaster), Dominique Maingueneau (Paris XII), Christian Mair
(Freiburg), Alan Partington (Bologna), Elena Tognini-Bonelli (Lecce
and TWC), Ruth Wodak (Lancaster and Vienna), and Feng Zhiwei
(Beijing). Corpus linguistics provides the methodology to extract
meaning from texts. Taking as its starting point the fact that
language is not a mirror of reality but lets us share what we know,
believe and think about reality, it focuses on language as a social
phenomenon, and makes visible the attitudes and beliefs expressed
by the members of a discourse community. Consisting of both spoken
and written language, discourse always has historical, social,
functional, and regional dimensions. Discourse can be monolingual
or multilingual, interconnected by translations. Discourse is where
language and social studies meet.
