In this paper I propose an argumentative approach for analyzing the rhetorical functions of the systems of ATTITUDEin academic discourse. Such an approach consists of a methodological crossing between the Appraisalmodeland Toulmin’s ArgumentationModel. Through the evaluative-argumentative analysis of 20 MA thesis introductions, this paper demonstrates the analysis of appraisal resources within the framework of argumentative schemes allows for a more delicate description of the workings of resourcesof attitude than those developed on the basis of the global structure of texts. The identification of both the rhetorical relations held among realizations of ATTITUDEand the argumentative patterns in which they take place constitutes a methodological innovation that could help improve our current understanding of the rhetorical influence of evaluative language in discourse.This might in turn increase the potential of this kind of knowledge to be applied to various academicand social linguistic processesin Spanish and other languages. |
