Abstract

Appraisal theory has been focused on by more and more scholars because of its powerful function of analyzing interpersonal meanings, which not only pays attention to the contents and structure of discourses, but attaches more importance to speakers’ or writers’ attitude, stance and emotional tendency as well. Engagement, as one system of appraisal theory, is concerned with the sources of attitudes and different Engagement resources imply different attitudes and ideas of speakers or writers. Therefore, through interpreting the texts of different genres by means of Engagement, we can reveal the purpose and emotional tendency hidden behind the language. The paper offers an effective way of recognizing and calculating Engagement resources in Persian discourses in order to help the researchers in that field improve the efficiency of analysis.
