Corpus Approaches to Evaluation by Susan Hunston
Phraseology, as explored in corpus linguistics, is important to the study of evaluative language. Corpus techniques reveal this phraseology and so assist in, for example, identifying modal meaning and intensifying phrases. The patterns identified by corpus techniques can be used in identifying and parsing instances of evaluation."Hunston shows how a suitable corpus linguistics methodology can be applied to validate theories of discourse analysis" - Nick Moore, Khalifa Universtiy of Science Technology and Research, United Arab Emirates
'... this book is an excellent presentation of Hunston's dedicated interest in evaluative texts and her continuing work on the interface of corpus linguistics and academic evaluation in the past decade. It will provde guidance for newcomers to this field, and also will be attractive to researchers already in the field because the studies presented in this book will provide them with useful suggestions for possible applications and further research. In sum, in this book readers may find that the combination of the three concepts will give them insight into how evaluative language works and new investigation directions.The book will be attractive to a large body of readers.' - Discourse Studies
