Meeting Description:

Two-day conference on evaluation and text types at Augsburg University,
focusing on evaluation in the new media and cross-cultural aspects of
evaluation

The Department of (English) Linguistics at Augsburg University (Wolfram
Bublitz, Monika Bednarek) will host a 2-day conference on evaluation
and text types, to be held from the 22nd to the 23rd of July 2005.

For the purposes of this conference evaluation is defined as

''the broad cover term for the expression of the speaker's or writer's
attitude or stance towards, viewpoint on, or feelings about the entities
or propositions that he or she is talking about. That attitude may
relate to certainty or obligation or desirability or any of a number of
other sets of values.'' (Thompson & Hunston 2000: 5)

and overlaps with competing notions such as stance and appraisal.

Further details about the conference, including travel and accommodation
information, programme and abstracts are posted on the conference
