Abstract

Abstract

The contexts in novels can be divided into three layers, which makes three kinds of appraisers: implied writer, narrator and narratees. Their stances in texts may be similar, opposite or conflict. As a result, the categories of attitude are not definite and determined by appraisers and the corresponding appraised. To identify categories of an attitude, it is necessary to find out its position in context, and then make sure the appraiser and the appraised. Based on this, the attitude category is finally confirmed. This kind of analysis can reveal not only the surface appraisal techniques but the implied appraisal motivations beyond the text. It is significant for the Appraisal System and Appraisal Stylistics theoretically and practically.
