題目: Principles for Applying Appraisal Theory
摘要: Considering the existing literature on Appraisal (see Appraisal bibliography athttp://www.monikabednarek.com/10.html), most current research seems to focus on reporting the results of single studies applying Appraisal theory to a particular dataset. With some exceptions, publications that focus on methodological issues are glaringly absent. Those exceptions are predominantly concerned with issues such as double-coding, rather than with a set of principles for ‘doing’ Appraisal research. This paper is aimed at addressing this gap and stimulating more debate on methodological issues, serving also as a reminder of key research principles for linguistic analysis. Issues to be discussed may include transparency, consistency, delicacy, inductive vs. deductive research, quantitative vs. qualitative perspectives, and triangulation. I approach this topic from the perspective of my own background as an empirically-oriented corpus-based discourse analyst. I will suggest a number of methodological issues that researchers applying Appraisal theory should consider and will also outline some possible solutions.

題目: Doing Discursive News Values Analysis: A Case Study of Facebook News Media Posts
摘要: In this talk I report on the findings of a case study investigating the discursive construction of news values in the photographs used in the Facebook posts of various news media organisations. The study is one of several case studies that are reported on in the forthcoming research monograph The Discourse of News Values (Bednarek & Caple 2017). I will discuss what we mean by discursive news values analysis, or DNVA, and what one can expect to find by doing DNVA. I will also introduce a topology that we have developed to help us to situate our research more transparently both in terms of the mono/multimodal approach being applied, and in terms of the unit of analysis being investigated. For the case study under discussion in this seminar, the focus remains on the images used in Facebook posts, and the news values that are constructed in them. Since the total number of images analysed for this case study is large, 1100 images, I will also talk about how I managed the analysis of a data set of this size, and the advantages of using a relational database for such analyses. Additional materials on DNVA can also be accessed at our DNVA website: www.newsvaluesanalysis.com


報告人簡介：
Dr. Monika Bednarek 和 Dr. Helen Caple分別是澳大利亞悉尼大學和新南威爾士大學的高級講師。
Monika研究興趣主要是基於語料庫的新聞話語分析🦾、評價性語言。她的三本專著 Evaluation in Media Discourse (2006)、Emotion Talk across Corpora(2008)、News Discourse (2012，與Helen合著)對基於語料庫的評價語言研究、新聞話語分析有極大貢獻👷‍♂️。Monika 和 Helen 即將在Oxford University Press出版The Discourse of News Values將是學界首次系統地從話語分析角度闡釋新聞價值的專著🍋‍🟩。
Helen 研究興趣是新聞話語中的多模態資源👩🏼‍✈️，尤其關註新聞話語中語言文字和圖片如何協同產生意義。她的專著Photojournalism : A Social Semiotic Approach(2013)，以及她和Monika一起在新聞價值研究方面頗有建樹⏭🧔🏿‍♀️，在整個學界獨樹一幟👦🏼🖕🏻。
