| Abstract: | The paper starts from the assumption that evaluation is a pervasive linguistic phenomenon which provides information about speakers and their environment. Using as its theoretical framework the four main types of evaluation identified by Higgins and Slade for casual conversation, the paper applies them to analyse a telephone conference recorded in a multinational company, where English is lingua franca. Its aim is to identify similarities and differences between evaluative language used by Romanian and foreign speakers of English. |
