Abstract

The language of evaluation can be identified not only in individual lexis but also in extended lexical-grammatical units such as phrase-frames. This study aims to explore evaluative phrase-frames and phraseological patterns in a corpus of conclusion chapters of doctoral theses. Through a corpus-driven analysis, a list of highly frequent phrase-frames were extracted and further refined to 21 evaluative phraseologies which contain an adjective in the variable position and are followed by a complement structure (e.g., it is * that). The identified phrase-frames were mapped onto different grammar patterns (Francis et al., 1998) and were analysed by Appraisal types (Martin & White, 2005) and evaluated entities (Thetela, 1997). The findings indicated that different phrase-frames and patterns showed clear preferences for particular Appraisal functions and evaluation types. This study suggests that there are interconnections among evaluative phrase-frames, their discourse functions, and different types of evaluation in academic discourse.

博士论文结论中的评价性短语框架与模式
评价语言不仅可以在单独的词汇中识别,而且可以在扩展的词汇语法单位(如短语框架)中识别。本研究旨在探讨博士论文结论章节语料库中的评价性短语框架和短语模式。通过语料库驱动的分析,提取了一个频繁短语框架列表,并进一步提炼为21个评价性短语,这些短语在可变位置包含一个形容词,后面跟着一个补语结构(例如,it is * that)。识别出的短语框架被映射到不同的语法模式(Francis等人,1998年),并通过评估类型(Martin & White, 2005年)和评估实体(Thetela, 1997年)进行分析。调查结果表明,不同的短语框架和模式显示出对特定评价功能和评价类型的明显偏好。本研究认为,学术语篇中评价性短语框架及其话语功能与不同类型的评价之间存在着内在联系。
