Opis

Long neglected as a focus of linguistic research, evaluation in its various guises is now being recognized as a crucial aspect of any study of discourse. In this book, writers coming from different standpoints are brought together, providing a unique profile of the topic from several perspectives: Systemic Linguistics, Narrative, Corpus Linguistics, and Discourse Analysis.

Recenzje

... a necessary addition to any research library in which functional linguistics, genre studies, corpus linguistics and narratology already take up a greater proportion of the shelf space.
