Abstract

The study of news discourse evaluation focuses on the explicit attitude caused by attitude-invoking vocabulary. What lacks now is the discussion of implicit attitude that seems neutral but implies author's judgment. Attitude, engagement and graduation are three subsystems of evaluation theory, which are inseparable from each other. This paper starts from the perspectives of engagement and graduation, comprehensively identifies and analyzes the implicit attitude of ideational meaning in news discourse, and explores its function of coordinating positioning and allying with the readers.
