Description
Abstract
This study explores voice from an APPRAISAL theory perspective. It aims to investigate how
published
research
writers deploy ATTITUDE and GRADUATION resources to
review existing literature in the field
.
T
he
study
is based on a corpus of
literature reviews
(LRs) from
204 research articles (RAs) in computer
networks
and communications (CNC)
and second
language
writing (SLW). Findings show that
1)
writers demonstrate a
strong preference to express their attitude
through
APPRECIATION rather than AFFECT and JUDG
EMENT
resources; 2)
more FORCE than FOCUS
resources are used to upgrade attitudinal meanings realized through
ATTITUDE resources or to evoke APPRECIATION; and 3) one
-
way ANOVAs and post hoc tests have
detected significant differences in the use of AFFECT a
nd JUDGEMENT resources and in two sub
-
categories
of FORCE and FOCUS resources.
The study contribute
s
to new knowledge
by relating ATTITUDE and
GRADUATION resources to the construction of voice in the
disciplines
of
CNC and SLW
.
