Abstract
This paper investigates the association between language patterns and attitudinal meanings, focusing specifically on adjective complementation patterns and types of attitudes as proposed in the Appraisal framework (Martin & White 2005). The investigation shows that the tripartite division of Attitude into Affect, Judgement and Appreciation can be supported with pattern differentials. The detailed scrutiny of adjective patterns with respect to the attitude system supports Bednarek’s (2009) argument that both aspects of attitudinal lexis (emotion or opinion lexis) and attitudinal target (the entity being evaluated) should be considered in analysing appraisal expressions, which leads to the proposal that Appraisal is in essence instantiated by choices made simultaneously in terms of the attitudinal lexis that is used and the attitudinal target that is involved.
本文研究了语言模式和态度意义之间的关系，特别关注了评价框架中提出的形容词补语模式和态度类型(Martin & White 2005)。调查结果表明，态度的“情感”、“判断”和“欣赏”的三方划分可以用模式差异来支持。关于态度系统的形容词模式的详细审查支持Bednarek(2009)的论点，即在分析评价表达时应考虑态度词汇(情感或意见词汇)和态度目标(被评价实体)的两个方面，从而提出评价本质上是通过在使用的态度词汇和涉及的态度目标方面同时做出的选择来实例化的建议。
期刊介绍：
Functions of Language is an international journal of linguistics which explores the functionalist perspective on the organisation and use of natural language. It encourages the interplay of theory and description, and provides space for the detailed analysis, qualitative or quantitative, of linguistic data from a broad range of languages. Its scope is broad, covering such matters as prosodic phenomena in phonology, the clause in its communicative context, and regularities of pragmatics, conversation and discourse, as well as the interaction between the various levels of analysis. The overall purpose is to contribute to our understanding of how the use of languages in speech and writing has impacted, and continues to impact, upon the structure of those languages.
