Emotion And Opinion in British Online Newspapers
Original language description
Recently, linguistic descriptions of the expression of evaluative meaning in various genres have received a lot of attention (e.g. Bednarek, 2006; Hunston & Thompson, 2000; Martin & White, 2005). Drawing on Martin and White?s Appraisal Theory, the present paper sets out to explore three questions: 1) What means do British online newspapers use to express attitude? 2) Do they convey predominantly opinion (i.e. appreciation or judgement) or emotional evaluation? 3) What differences (if any) are there in expressing attitude between tabloids and broadsheets? To answer these questions six articles from British online tabloids and six from broadsheets were analysed. The study has shown that the two types of newspapers differ mainly in the expression of emotion (affect), which constitutes the dominant subsystem of attitude.
