Grammar and Evaluation
Grammatical and lexical resources in a language like English are used by speakers to express evaluation, which is concerned with the expression of a speaker's attitude toward, viewpoint on or feelings about what is being talked about. Although some grammatical categories, such as modal verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and some grammatical patterns, are prototypically used to express evaluation and the related concepts of stance and appraisal, differen…
Creative visual and multimodal metonymy in non-commercial advertisements on substance use
Non-commercial advertising is an appealing genre for the study of the social implications of the use of creative figurativity, as it allows us to explore the creative strategies used to engage the addressee’s attention to take courses of action. The present paper focuses on the role of creative visual and multimodal metonymies and their interaction with metaphoric domains in multimodal advertising campaigns addressing substance use (smoking, alco…
The pragmatics of emotion in socio-cultural contexts
This article develops a pragmatic model for the analysis of emotion in socio-cultural contexts and applies it to the study of the messages written on David Bowie’s mural/memorial in London. The data consists of 584 messages written and drawn on the mural between February and December 2016, after the artist’s death. The model allows for the analysis of the semiotic resources used for the expression of emotive pragmatic acts and their intensificati…
Instagram is a ridiculous lie factory
This article explores the way in which social media and its relation to mental health is metaphorically conceptualized in newspaper opinion discourse. We discuss the extent to which metaphoric expressions are used creatively and whether they convey positive or negative evaluations. For this purpose, a 10,000-word sample of opinion articles from two British newspapers was collected and analysed. The main research questions are: (1) How is social m…
Code Red for Humanity
Concern for global warming, climate change and pollution has grown in recent years, with countries across the world facing natural disasters on unprecedented scales. The communication of environmental protection is therefore a necessary area of enquiry, especially from a Conceptual Metaphor Theory perspective. The present article explores (1) how the themes of global warming, climate change, pollution and activism are conceptualized in a corpus o…
Developing an annotation protocol for evaluative stance and metaphor in discourse
The process of identification and annotation of evaluation has received a lot of attention in recent years. However, given the complexity of the topic, the discussion of some of the central issues is still ongoing. The present article contributes to this debate by presenting an annotation scheme that is designed for the identification and annotation of evaluative stance in a corpus of four English genres, namely, newspaper discourse, political di…
Rest in space, Starman! Creative reframing of death metaphors on David Bowie’s mural in London
This article explores the way in which death metaphors written in the urban mural for David Bowie in London contribute to creatively reframing the artist’s death. While research on death metaphors has focussed on traditional written genres such as obituaries and epitaphs, studies of urban memorials and shrines have focussed on the creation of fandom identities, downplaying the role played by figurativity, creativity and emotional connotation. The…

Grammar and Evaluation
The grammar of a language like English provides language users with linguistic (lexicogrammatical, specifically morphosyntactic) resources to express meaning, construct sentences and texts, and to communicate with other speakers. Prosodic, phraseological, and discourse‐pragmatic features are also included in numerous grammars. These grammatical resources are used by speakers to express evaluation.

Metaphorical creativity and recontextualization in multimodal advertisements on e-business across time
In this article we explore the creative recontextualization of JOURNEY, WAR, RACE and SPORTS metaphors and discuss their manifestations in multimodal ICT advertisements across time. Our objectives are to discuss (i) the choices of metaphors and related source domains used to describe (e)businesses in two different time periods, (ii) how the highlighting and hiding of features of the source domains remain constant or change, (iii) the relations be…
Negation in discourse
This article presents a discourse-based approach to negation by applying text world theory to the analysis of negation in the novel Catch-22, by Joseph Heller (1986 [1961]), The model developed for the analysis of negation is based on Werth’s (1999) notion of negation as a subworld which modifies information which is present in the common ground of the discourse. By so doing, negation contributes to the general discourse function of updating info…
Text world creation in advertising discourse
This article explores the way in which text worlds are created in advertising discourse by analysing linguistic choices and features of context which are crucial in the determination of specific relations between sender(s) and target audience(s), in particular, deixis and frame knowledge. The argument is that a text world model is particularly adequate for the description of the way in which advertising discourse is processed in an active, dynami…
