Abstract

Although academic book reviews have been extensively discussed in a number of languages and in terms of a variety of factors, there is at least one point that has not yet been taken into consideration, namely the authorship factor (i.e. the number of the academic book authors) and its possible influence on evaluative language of the review. This assumption has given rise to the present study, which centres on a corpus-based analysis of one hundred linguistic book reviews with a half written by a single author and the other fifty being a collection of more than two authors. The investigation rests on Giannoni’s (2010) typology of academic values, from which three values, i.e. goodness, novelty and relevance and their lexical evaluative markers have been subjected to manual and automatic analyses with the aim to comparing and contrasting variation in value distribution in two corpora. Furthermore, the overall research findings have been presented in the form of the chi-square test in order to determine whether there exists any statistical significance between the selected categorical variables, and comment on accordingly.

单个作者与多个作者的学术书籍的评论。二比一少吗？

尽管学术书评已经用多种语言和各种因素进行了广泛的讨论，但至少有一点尚未被考虑在内，即作者因素（即学术书评作者的数量）及其对书评评价语言的可能影响。这一假设催生了本研究，该研究基于语料库对100篇语言学书评进行分析，其中一半由一位作者撰写，另50篇由两位以上作者组成。本研究基于Giannoni（2010）的学术价值类型学，从中对善、新颖、关联三种价值及其词汇评价标记进行了手动和自动分析，目的是比较和对比两个语料库中价值分布的变化。此外，总体研究结果以卡方检验的形式呈现，以确定所选分类变量之间是否存在任何统计显著性，并据此进行评论。
