Key features include: using a 900,000-word comparable corpus of newspaper texts arranged by genre and topic domain drawing on a specially developed framework of analysis with a strong orientation to news values ; carrying out structural analysis by creating sub-corpora of different parts of newspaper texts ; adopting a functional approach to evaluation in newspaper discourse. Evaluation across newspaper genres amply demonstrates that evaluation plays a vital and yet dynamic role in the construction of hard news stories, editorials and feature articles by performing different discourse functions. In doing so, the book also illuminates such important linguistic concepts as specificity/variation and textual colligation.
