It offers a fresh approach to exploring the ways in which evaluation or stance contributes to the construction of the three newspaper genres, each with a distinct communicative purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features include\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eusing a 900,000-word comparable corpus of newspaper texts arranged by genre and topic domain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edrawing on a specially developed framework of analysis with a strong orientation to news values\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecarrying out structural analysis by creating sub-corpora of different parts of newspaper texts and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadopting a functional approach to evaluation in newspaper discourse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvaluation Across Newspaper Genres\u003c\/i\u003e amply demonstrates that evaluation plays a vital and yet dynamic role in the construction of hard news stories, editorials and feature articles by performing a great variety of discourse functions. In doing so, the book also illuminates such important linguistic concepts as specificity\/variation and textual colligation. Providing a new and unifying perspective on evaluation as a prime driver of text construction, it will be of interest and use to researchers, teachers and students of English language, applied linguistics and journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41513834545249,"sku":"9780367713942","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28490986.jpg?v=1760341602","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367713942-evaluation-across-newspaper-genres","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
