Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of language expressing Judgment
and Appreciation in English and Vietnamese newspaper articles of social issues. In the light
of Appraisal Theory (Martin & White, 2005), the study reveals that Judgment and
Appreciation expressions are realized in two and three sub-types respectively; all these
expressions can be explicit or implicit with different word classes and scale. The study
makes use of both qualitative and quantitative information employing descriptive method.
On the basis of the findings, the article puts forward several implications and suggestions on
reading comprehension, writing, translating the language of Judgment, Appreciation as well
as learning and teaching English through language of Judgment and Appreciation in
particular and Appraisal language in general.
