Key features include
- using a 900,000-word comparable corpus of newspaper texts arranged by genre and topic domain
- drawing on a specially developed framework of analysis with a strong orientation to news values
- carrying out structural analysis by creating sub-corpora of different parts of newspaper texts and
- adopting a functional approach to evaluation in newspaper discourse
Evaluation 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.
