Evaluative Graded Adjectival Lexicogrammatical Patterns in English Online Newspapers
Original language description
Graded adjectival lexico-grammatical patterns have been considered a basic instrument to convey evaluation in the text. This paper analyses the frequency of such patterns in a corpus of six English online newspapers (three broadsheets and three tabloids), and further investigates whether these patterns are used in the given discourse to construe emotional or judgemental evaluation (emotion and opinion). The paper draws on Hunston and Sinclair’s introduction to basic adjectival lexico-grammatical evaluative patterns as well as on their modification conducted by Bednarek. The study has shown that the two types of newspapers do not mainly rely on superlative patterns but on comparative patterns exploiting the lemmata good and likely which represent judgemental evaluation (opinion).
