话语的评价系统:语言人际功能的跨学科研究

Appraisal System-Interdisciplinary Research on the Interpersonal Function of Language

评价系统是对系统功能语言学人际功能的新拓展,旨在探索话语中表达说话人/作者的感觉、判断及协调说话人/作者与听话者/读者之间关系的评价资源。评价系统通过词汇语法层评价意义的探索,完成了对系统功能语言学小句分析的超越,其评价框架兼具有主体间哲学、价值论、元伦理学、心理学和美学倾向,是具有社会学性质的语篇分析工具,也是篇章语义学的重要组成部分。

Appraisal system, the latest expansion of the interpersonal function of human language advocated by Systematic Functional Linguistics （SFL）,aims to explore the appraisal resources in a dialogue which are drawn on to express the speaker＇ s/author＇s feelings and judgments as well as coordinate the relationship between the speaker/author and the listener/reader. It goes beyond the analysis of clauses in SFL by probing into the apprais- al meaning on the lexical-grammatical plane. With its appraisal frame incorporating such pursuits as inter-subjectivity, axiology, meta-ethics, psychology and aesthetics, this system is both a sociological device for discourse analysis and a major research field in text semantics.
