Michele Zappavigna
Abstract
This chapter explores linguistic research into evaluation in social media texts. After a survey of some of the dominant linguistic theories of stance and evaluation, introducing the Appraisal Framework as a model that has been used across a range of social media discourses, it explores work on evaluation in social tagging, focusing on the evaluation functions of hashtags. The chapter concludes by considering how values are negotiated in social media texts and how alignments are forged through ambient affiliation.
