Resumen

What the editors term ‘evaluation’ is an up-and-coming field of study in an area in which semantics, pragmatics, grammar and discourse overlap. The present article examines the nine contributions to the volume under review and finds a considerable range of lexical, grammatical and textual approaches to the expression of opinion and stance in English. These include corpus-based studies of lexical and grammatical items carrying an evaluative load, evaluation in and of narrative, covert stance in persuasive rhetoric, a systemic-functional modelling of Appraisal, and a layered discourse model to persuasive texts.
