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.
