Description
Corpus Approaches to Evaluation Phraseology and Evaluative Language by Susan Hunston explores how language is used to express opinions, attitudes, and judgments in naturally occurring discourse. This study applies corpus investigation techniques to identify patterns and regularities in evaluative language, shedding light on its role in shaping our understanding of the world. The book argues that phraseology plays a crucial role in the study of evaluative language, revealing how certain phrases convey specific meanings and intensify evaluations. By examining the use of modal meaning, figurative phrases, and patterns of language use, Hunston offers new insights into the ways in which language is used to build knowledge and construct reality. This book builds on Hunston's previous work, exploring how films and journalism employ language and images to shape our understanding of ideas and events.
