The materials include many worked text examples and opportunities for gaining practice in text analysis. The materials assume only a minimal background in linguistic theory. They are based on materials used in a course for English Language undergraduates and Applied Linguistics M.A. students.The course material are available in several versions. 1. An easy to navigate Web version using frames: Framed Version 2. A Web version designed for easy downloading and printing. Each unit is in a single page so may take a little time to display: Printout Version 3. A non-Web Microsoft Word version - for downloading and displaying using your wordprocessor: Word processor Version.An Outline of Appraisal These materials provide a relatively broad but not particularly detailed or in-depth account of Appraisal as it was formulated in 1998/99. Most of the framework has remained relatively stable since then except for the way Engagement (resources for adopting and negotiating interpersonal positioning) is modeled. These material have been on the Website now for a couple of years and assume some knowledge of Systemic Functional Theory.The outline is available several versions. 1. An easy to navigate Web version using frames: Framed Version 2. A Web version designed for easy downloading and printing. Just one big page so may take a little time to display: Printout Version 3.
