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 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features include\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eusing a 900,000-word comparable corpus of newspaper texts arranged by genre and topic domain, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edrawing on a specially developed framework of analysis with a strong orientation to news values, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecarrying out structural analysis by creating sub-corpora of different parts of newspaper texts and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadopting a functional approach to evaluation in newspaper discourse. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvaluation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Ngai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367713926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367713928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Jonathan Ngai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058788921599,"sku":"9780367713928","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cc3a134-b035-4271-aa88-3a5963084e6f.jpg?v=1685054527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evaluation-across-newspaper-genres-jonathan-ngai-9780367713928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
