Book Description
Informed by the APPRAISAL Theory, this book analyses the construction of evaluative meanings in web-based English tourism texts (ETTs). It investigates the semantic potentiality of evaluative meaning in English tourism texts on Chinese, British and American websites, as well as the similarities and differences in constructing evaluation among the three varieties of ETTs. It is aimed to discover the characteristic preferences for particular appraisal resources in constructing evaluation in native ETTs, and to find out the deficiencies in using evaluation in ETTs on Chinese websites. Two analytical procedures are adopted: first, based on large corpus files, it discusses the semantic potentiality for evaluative meaning in the three types of ETTs; then, various evaluation features are explored in detail concerning resources of ATTITUDE, ENGAGEMENT and GRADUATION under the APPRAISAL framework. All discussions are conducted by combining quantitative statistics with qualitative analyses. Theoretically, the study modifies and extends some aspects of the APPRAISAL Theory so as to facilitate the analysis of evaluation in tourism discourse. The study is also instructive for Chinese ESL/EFL writers in writing English tourist texts or translating Chinese tourism texts into English.

Evaluation in Translation
Author: Jeremy Munday
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136305637
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
In this book, Jeremy Munday presents advances towards a general theory of evaluation in translator decision-making that will be of high importance to translator and interpreter training and to descriptive translation analysis. By ‘evaluation’ the author refers to how a translator’s subjective stance manifests itself linguistically in a text. In a world where translation and interpreting function as a prism through which opposing personal and political views enter a target culture, it is crucial to investigate how such views are processed and sometimes subjectively altered by the translator. To this end, the book focuses on the translation process (rather than the product) and strives to identify more precisely those points where the translator is most likely to express judgment or evaluation. The translations studied cover a range of languages (Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and American Sign Language) accompanied by English glosses to facilitate comprehension by readers. This is key reading for researchers and postgraduates studying translation theory within Translation and Interpreting Studies.

Book Description
This volume explores the relationship between tourism and travel texts and contemporary society, and how each is shaped by the other.
