Abstract
Premising that her corpus-assisted research has been profitable, but not invariably and/or consistently and/or unequivocally, the chapter opens with a discussion of the factors upon which valuable quantitative meaning analysis may depend, and the connection between SFL and CL. The main part of the paper deliberates the case for corpus-assisted appraisal studies in the face of snares including The Russian Doll (Thompson 2014) and Piecemeal Puzzle syndromes. The issues are illustrated with instances from corpus-assisted appraisal studies in US congressional speech and from a literature text: Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus', where the functional role played by language patterns in construing a special kind of social meaning exchange (Hasan 1989/1985) sets the hurdles even higher.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
