| Summary: | Appraisal Theory by Martin and White (2005) has increasingly claimed its potential in
discourse analysis studies, highlighting the speakers’ and writers’ evaluations of people, entities, and events.
This paper adopts Martin and White’s Appraisal framework for the purpose of determining the Affect in
the expressives made by the judges of the two reality shows, The Voice UK versus The Voice Vietnam.
Specifically, the research addresses itself to discovering which Affect resources are used in the expressive
acts by the judges and indicating the resemblances and discrepancies in employing those resources in the
expressives by the two groups of judges. The results reveal that all of the sub-types of Affect were found
in the two data sets. Besides, the Affect resources in the two languages share a variety of similarities in
terms of their frequency, realization strategies, and polarities. The study can be the reference for learners of
English and Vietnamese in passing their remarks in daily communication |
