Book reviews belong to a kind of academic discourse. It is multi functional, not only providing an information service for the readers and but
also an opportunity for reviewers to express their personal opinion of a
published book. Basically, book reviews usually contain numerous evaluation
resources which require the reviewers and the readers linguistic knowledge
and skills to perform the reviewing and comprehending. This study examined
the employment of expression of appreciation in English book reviews. All
these texts were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Moreover, the
descriptive method was employed in doing this research. The study was
conducted and based on a descriptive framework of traditional grammar,
appraisal and speech act theory. By selecting 134 book reviews in English
from some famous websites, the author of this study made a small corpus.
The samples of appreciation are instances of words, phrases, and few small
clauses identified in the light of the sub-categories of appreciation. The results
reveal that adjective phrase is the highly used evaluative resource and has
attributive or predicative functions in sentences. Significantly, the
construction with pattern: “S + V + CsAPPRECIATION + A” is found very
common in appreciation used in EBRs. Similarly, the kind of appreciation
used the most was valuation followed by composition and reaction. The
present study also investigated the ways in which the writer constructs an
evaluative stance in EBRs by employing illocutionary force and boosters in
attempt to interact with readers. Finally, the findings also aim at suggesting
some implications for comprehending and using appreciation in book reviews
as well as teaching English to Vietnamese learners, especially who are
interested in the appraisal theory and the writing skill. |
