Corpus Approaches to Evaluation

Phraseology and Evaluative Language

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Phraseology, as explored in corpus linguistics, is important to the study of evaluative language. Corpus techniques reveal this phraseology and so assist in, for example, identifying modal meaning and intensifying phrases. The patterns identified by corpus techniques can be used in identifying and parsing instances of evaluation.
