Abstract:

It is now an acknowledged fact in the world of linguistics that the concept of
evaluation is crucial, and that there is very little – if any – discourse that
cannot be analyzed through the prism of its evaluative content. This book
presents some of the latest developments in the study of this phenomenon.
Released more than a decade later than Hunston and Thompson’s (2000)
Evaluation in Text, Evaluation in Context is designed as its sequel, in an
attempt to continue, update and extend the different avenues of research
opened by the earlier work. Both theoretical and empirical studies on the
topic are presented, with the intention of scrutinizing as many of its
dimensions as possible, by not only looking at evaluative texts, but also
considering the aspects of the discursive context that affect the final
evaluative meaning at both the production and reception stages of the
evaluative act. The editors’ main objective has been to gather contributions
which investigate the manifold faces and phases of evaluation by presenting a
wide variety of perspectives that include different linguistic theories (e.g.
Axiological Semantics, Functionalism or Politeness Theory), different levels
of linguistic description (e.g. phonological, lexical or semantic), and
different text types and contexts (e.g. the evaluation found in ironic
discourse, the multimodality of media discourse or the world of politics, just
to name a few). The volume can be of use not only for scholars who study the
evaluative function of language, but also for students who wish to pursue
research in the area.
