| 總結: | The present study explores sub-categories of Attitude -Affect, Judgement
and Appreciation- in the book “The World is Flat” by Thomas L. Friedman in
the light of Appraisal Theory. The study aims to investigate the syntactic and
semantic realizations of Attitude sub-categories from 358 samples collected
from the book. The thesis employed the descriptive method to fully describe
the realizations of Attitude sub-categories in terms of syntax and semantics to
obtain the setting goals. The finding of the research demonstrate that Attitude
sub-categories can be recognized in various group and phrase structures in
which nominal groups and adjective groups are more favourable. The study
also works out typical functions of Attitude sub-categories as components in
transitivity processes. Semantically, the findings show that all Appraisal
evaluating criteria were reflected in the book and significantly the positive
values are dominant. This is the interpersonal meaning which the book
contributes to nurture its readers’ insights to the reality of the world in the era
of digital technology. The study makes a significant contribution to our
understanding of the sub-categories of Attitude in the book and provides the
teachers and university students majoring in English with practical
implication to evaluate a discourse fragment and interpret a discourse
fragment in the light of Appraisal Theory and in line with Systemic
Functional Linguistics. |
