They play a key\u0000 role in defining present-day group identities and their terms of affiliation. As such, they have generated a great deal of\u0000 interest among functional linguists interested in how ideology is construed through language. But the ways history texts evaluate\u0000 the past is not straightforward; they include a complex interplay of discourse participants putting forward a range of views\u0000 toward the subject-matter. This article presents a framework for investigating evaluative meaning in historical discourse that\u0000 aims to untangle this complex web of voices, showing how they work together to position readers to take up particular views toward\u0000 the past. The framework brings together two prominent approaches to the study of evaluation: Martin & White’s (2005) Appraisal framework and Hunston’s (2000)\u0000 notions of Status Value and Relevance. It posits four levels of evaluation (inter-, super-, extra- and meta-evaluation) that are\u0000 grounded in insights from the field of historiography and reflect key disciplinary activities of historians.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47306278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paratactic negation refers to\u0000 an overt negation in a complement clause of an inherently negative verb that results in a single negative reading. This analysis\u0000 draws on previous research going back to Jespersen (1917), in observing that the PN\u0000 complement clause verbalizes the content of the activity that is expressed by the matrix verb. In this case, the verb of inherent\u0000 negation does not have scope over the complement despite its negative semantics. This paper addresses the question of where and\u0000 why content complements actually occur. The answer to this question is given by accounting for the differences of the content\u0000 complements from more clearly subordinate target complements. It is shown that this distinction is related to verb semantics and\u0000 conventionalized syntagmatic patterns. This is demonstrated by accounting for the differences of the content complements from more\u0000 clearly subordinate target complements. On the basis of these results, the paper offers a refined definition of paratactic\u0000 negation. This definition has two major implications: First, it suggests that a semantically non-vacuous PN may be a\u0000 conventionalized pattern. Second, it leads us to reconsider the limits of PN and the definition of inherent negation.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1075/FOL.15030.SAL","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49450543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It highlights some remarkable aspects of sign language acquisition with\u0000 respect to interpersonal interaction between the child and its mother. The free play interactions of the Deaf mother and her\u0000 moderately deaf daughter were recorded when the child was 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months old. These interactions were annotated in\u0000 ELAN and transcribed in view of the analysis adapting Systemic Functional Linguistics. The analysis indicates that the early sign\u0000 language development of the child chronologically correlates with Halliday’s descriptions of the universal functions of language.\u0000 The infant’s first lexical signs appeared at 12 months. The child produced one-sign utterances (12 months and older), one-sign\u0000 utterances along with a pointing sign (18 months and older) and two-sign utterances (24 months). The mother integrated attentional\u0000 strategies to redirect the child’s attention. She also adopted techniques that are appropriate for child-directed signing, i.e.\u0000 questions, recasts and expansions.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44073806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Members of this committee argue over whether or not to amend a draft committee report and in the process co-construct procedural norms for future committee meetings. Participants on both sides of the argument use axiological condensation , in which actions and ideas are associated with each other and charged with a particular moral or affective value ( Maton 2014 : 130) to portray their version of the procedure to be followed as morally superior to that of their opponents. They also use axiological rarefaction ( Maton 2014 : 130) to reinforce their positions by making apparent concessions to those on the other side of the argument. This is revealed through an analysis of the coupling of ideation and Appraisal ( Martin 2000 : 161) in the logogenetic unfolding of members’ talk, combined with elements of Interactional Sociolinguistics ( Gumperz 1982 ). The analysis suggests that axiological condensation and rarefaction in this meeting reflect competing visions of what it means to be ‘pro-democracy’ in post-apartheid South Africa.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1075/FOL.24.2.03SIE","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45260770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
