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.   Key features includeusing a 900,000-word comparable corpus of newspaper texts arranged by genre and topic domaindrawing on a specially developed framework of analysis with a strong orientation to news valuescarrying out structural analysis by creating sub-corpora of different parts of newspaper texts andadopting a functional approach to evaluation in newspaper discourseEvaluation Across Newspaper Genres 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56288994918773,"sku":"9780367713942","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780367713942.jpg?v=1762721744","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780367713942","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
