This study has analyzed the role of contexts in persuasive academic writing in terms of the function of evaluative resources.
Therefore, it is not enough simply to count the total number of occurrences of evaluative resources in a text; resources at different levels of relevance to the construction of stance must be counted and analyzed separately.
A valuable and comprehensive model of an SFL approach to study the textual patterning of evaluative resources in media discourse is found in Martin (2004a) which presents a detailed analysis of one editorial from a Hong Kong lifestyle magazine.
Swales' model reveals research article introductions to function primarily as a means of engaging and persuading the reader; in order to achieve this end they require extensive use of evaluative resources.
It should then be possible to identify the types of evaluative resource most frequently associated with each of the three categories, and to feed this information into EAP syllabuses and materials for the teaching and learning of research writing.
The deployment of evaluative language in English and Vietnamese discussions was analysed from the Vietnamese and English transcripts, using the Appraisal framework (as adapted following the pilot study) for Attitude and Graduation.
Police and crime commissioners (PCCs) have played a crucial role in the deployment of scarce resources.
Pinpointing the hungry should improve the deployment of scarce resources.Even putting food on the table does not mean that everybody will get a fair share.
Apart from the preliminary aim of examining the differences in the deployment of language resources for expressing attitudinal meaning in the English and Vietnamese discussions, the study also tested whether the adapted Attitude system was sufficiently robust to investigate evaluative meanings in this context or whether further refinement was needed to accommodate analysis of the data.
The technology also helps customers optimize the deployment of those resources to meet business objectives.
