Evaluative language of attitude in the introduction section of Vietnamese linguistic research articles

Abstract

This study investigates the evaluative language of the Introduction section of Vietnamese linguistic articles. The study analyses the frequency and realizations of the Attitude system of the Appraisal framework. Results show that the Appreciation resources are more frequently employed than Affect and Judgement. The employment of highly frequent categories increases effectiveness and meets the expected outcome of the article. It is hoped that the study can be of reference for scientists in the process of writing their research article to improve its persuasion and effectiveness.
