The article focuses on the formulation of the strategy of reproduction of modal words in intersemiotic translation of the film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by J. K. Rowling. This article aims to describe the adaptive strategies carried out during the adaptation of the literary work, which can be expressed in acting, gestures, movements, and shots. Such approach allows to reflect elements as natural phenomena, buildings, movable and immovable objects. The use of adaptive strategies in both productions as well as the author's modality were explored, and the comparison of dialogues was presented. It was established that in literary works, modal words are frequently found in the author's words and in the characters’ reflections, i.e., in those segments that are susceptible to corrosion during intersemiotic translation. Therefore, to maintain the author's intention, translators’ resort to certain adaptive strategies, and the main strategies were identified on the example.

The purpose of the article is to analyze international experience in transforming the professional and qualification structure of ASEAN countries in the process of industrial policy modernization. The leading research method for this problem is historical-systemic and historical-sociological methods which allow for a complex analysis of the structure, functions, morphology and genesis of this process. The study presents a structural and functional model of transformation of professional and qualification structure of ASEAN countries during the period of economic modernization in 1967-1990, its role in the course and results of the industrial revolution in these countries and its further digital transformation. Practical significance: the results of the analysis allow assessing and using international experience in the implementation of methods of management of the national economy's human resource system under the conditions of FIR and transition from export-oriented industrialization to reindustrialization and digitalization.

Children’s first years at school are critical for their language development, academic progress, and social learning. Hopefully, children make friends when they start school because friendships support children’s learning and well-being. Friendships need to be developed and maintained, and interpersonal language resources like evaluative language provide linguistic tools that contribute to this relationship work. Appraisal theory (Martin & White, 2005) provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing evaluative language. This research applies the appraisal framework to explore evaluative language in the conversations of 2 pairs of 5-to-6-year-old friends. Children in each dyad identified each other as ‘very best friends,’ and their conversations were recorded as they played together. They used appraisal resources to negotiate and build common ground, to encourage responses from their friends, and to enrich their play. This research applies Martin and White’s (2005) framework in a new context and brings a new tool to the study of children’s peer conversations.
孩子在学校的头几年对他们的语言发展、学业进步和社会学习至关重要。希望孩子们在开始上学时能交到朋友，因为友谊有助于孩子的学习和幸福。友谊需要发展和维持，而像评价性语言这样的人际语言资源提供了有助于这种关系运作的语言工具。评价理论(Martin & White, 2005)为分析评价性语言提供了一个全面的框架。本研究运用评价框架来探讨两对5- 6岁的朋友对话中的评价性语言。每一组的孩子都认为彼此是“最好的朋友”，他们在一起玩耍时的对话被记录下来。他们利用评估资源来协商和建立共同点，鼓励朋友的回应，并丰富他们的游戏。本研究将Martin and White(2005)的框架应用到一个新的语境中，为儿童同伴对话的研究带来了一个新的工具。

This study explores the strategic use of resources for conveying attitudinal assessments by journalists when their communicative options are seriously curtailed—when there are severe social, legal, or political constraints on what they can say about powerful people and institutions. It offers, by way of a case study, an analysis of editorials published in two Pakistani English-language newspapers the day after the US forces covertly entered Pakistan and killed Osama bin Laden. Whereas these actions raised serious questions about the prior conduct of the Pakistani military and intelligence services, the journalists were prevented by strict legal prohibitions from any overt criticism. Through an appraisal-framework analysis, this study describes the ‘oblique’ attitudinal style used in the two editorials to advance cases which position readers to view those involved in an extremely negative light.
本研究探讨了当记者的沟通选择受到严重限制时，即当他们对有权势的人和机构的言论受到严重的社会、法律或政治限制时，如何策略性地利用资源来传达记者的态度评估。它以案例研究的方式，对美国军队秘密进入巴基斯坦并击毙奥萨马•本•拉登(Osama bin Laden)后第二天两家巴基斯坦英文报纸发表的社论进行了分析。尽管这些行动引发了对巴基斯坦军方和情报部门先前行为的严重质疑，但严格的法律禁止记者公开批评。通过评价框架分析，本研究描述了两篇社论中使用的“倾斜”态度风格，以推进读者以极端负面的眼光看待那些涉及的案例。

This study investigates the use of the attitude system in engineering writing, including how attitude resources are deployed and what they target. The study analyses 10 professional engineering texts. Research suggests that professional engineering writing is largely an object-centred form of written communication, that is, focused on physical objects (Ding, 2001; McKenna, 1997). Engineering writing also has a persuasive purpose and an ‘objective’ style (Winsor, 2006), which can be challenging for novice engineering writers as it requires a command of evaluative language including an understanding of how and to what evaluation can be applied. Appraisal system offers an approach to understanding the use of evaluative language. Findings show that the valuation subtype of appreciation, a subsystem of attitude, is used in significant preference to all others. Physical objects and activities are the most commonly evaluated targets. These findings have implications for teaching writing to engineering students.

This study reports on the development of the interpersonal discourse semantic system of involvement based on the analysis of evaluative meanings in 3 different data sets of Chinese digitally mediated communication. It builds on prior work developed within tenor and interpersonal meanings. Within the proposed system, 3 kinds of interpersonal meaning dimensions are posited. The first relates to the relative status between interlocutors and participants within a social hierarchy and is, thus, named social hierarchy. The second relates to the positioning of the person posting and others in relation to how close their relationship is and is, thus, named social distance. The third relates to who is being positioned within the other 2 dimensions and is called involvement type. Within the 3 data sets of digitally mediated Chinese communication (i.e., forum posts, SMS, and chat room messages), we found that the Chinese interlocutors frequently positioned themselves and others in relationships both within a social hierarchy as well as in relationships concerning their relative social distance. Results show there are a number of linguistic realisations of these 3 involvement systems which Chinese interlocutors use to negotiate their relative social positions in digitally mediated communication.

A critical review is one of the text types (i.e., genres) assigned for academic writing in Australian universities; yet, the study of this genre remains underexamined in academic discourse. This qualitative study was designed to analyse the schematic structures and lexical choices in evaluative meanings within critical review texts to provide a description of the critical analysis genre that could help to familiarise students with the characteristics of the genre. Texts used for the analysis were a tutor’s model text, provided to the students in the Introductory Academic Program (IAP) at the University of Adelaide, and the critical review writing of 2 Indonesian students in the IAP class. Using both genre analysis (Martin & Rose, 2003) and the appreciation framework (Martin & White, 2005) from systemic functional linguistics (SFL), the study applied “a genre-analytic approach” (Nodoushan & Khakbaz, 2011, p.112) to analysing and describing the structure and language use of the critical review texts. Analysis of the schematic structure identified 5 stages: Introduction, Summary of the Article, Analysis of the Article: Positive Critique, Analysis of the Article: Negative Critique, and Conclusion. The values of appreciation that contributed to the evaluative purpose of the critical review genre were categorised as valuation, composition, and reaction. Based on the analysis, this report provides suggestions for structural and lexical resources for the realisation of the purpose of a critical review text and for the expression of evaluative meanings.

This paper is a contribution to appraisal-based scholarship concerned with the discursive performance of what is variously termed ‘identity’ or ‘persona’—specifically the scholarship which proposes that key aspects of textual identity/persona can be related to tendencies in speakers’i deployment of the resources for conveying evaluative meanings. Our contribution is via an analysis of similarities and differences in the use of meanings which convey attitudinal assessment by couples participating in a Chinese ‘reality TV’ family dispute resolution program; we formulate identity/persona as involving ways of presenting ‘the self,’ specifically those aspects of ‘the self’ associated with what attitudinal meanings the speaker advances and with how those meanings are advanced. We demonstrate a methodology which classifies expressions of positive/negative assessment by reference to the subtype of attitude, its valency (positive or negative), whether the assessment is explicitly or implicitly conveyed, and the type of the assessment target (who or what is being evaluated). Via this methodology, we show how these ways of self-presentation can be characterised, compared, and grouped into subtypes (i.e., ways of self-presentation which, broadly speaking, are repeated across speakers). We report findings that, in their self-presentations, the participants in this programme were broadly similar in their deployment of some options for conveying positive or negative assessment (e.g., in a preference for implicitly rather than explicitly conveying their attitude), but that there were also significant individual differences (e.g., in terms of readiness to report their own experiencing of negative emotions). Also, we offer an exploration of how computational tools for multivariate cluster analysis might be deployed to develop more abstract characterisations and comparisons of ways of self-presentation—characterisations which reference tendencies across multiple options for attitudinal assessment.
