评价框架中态度资源的完善——以小组讨论中评价语言使用为例

Refining Attitude Resources in the Appraisal Framework with Special Reference to the Use of Evaluative Language in Group Discussions

系统功能语言学中的评价框架自建立以来已应用于不同体裁中评价语言的研究。根据对研究生英汉语小组讨论中口头话语评价资源使用的研究,本文提出如下观点:可进一步完善态度系统,对Martin和White(2005)提出的态度框架的修改和完善可分两个阶段:第一是对情感系统中非意愿/意愿和非安全/安全的重新分类和鉴赏系统中影响和品质的再理论化;第二是对判断和鉴赏的扩展。这些完善有助于发展评价框架,提供更有效的评价立场表达方式。

Since its establishment,the appraisal framework in Systemic Functional Linguistics has gone through some refinements to be applicable in studies of the evaluative language in different genres.Based on a study of the use of evaluative resources in spoken discourse by postgraduate students in small group discussions in English and in Chinese,it is argued that more refinements can be made to the system of attitude,involving a two-stage process of modification and refinement of Martin&White’s(2005)attitude framework.These refinements,consisting of the re-categorization of dis/inclination and in/security in the affect system and the re-theorization of impact and quality in the appreciation system,as well as an extension of Judgment and appreciation,help to develop the appraisal framework and provide means of expressing evaluative stances more effectively.
