paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines404 - : “The function of topic framing is to shift the scene by setting a new domain for the following text. A sequential technique of topic introducion then follows, by which the discussion of this new domain is initiated […].Topic framing was found to be indicated by a wide range of topic signals in expository texts. These include paragraph breaks, metadiscursive ítems, discourse markers, initial adjuncts, encapsulation and predictive items” (Goutsos, 1997: 46-48 ).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines406 - : In English, evaluative language plays a critical role in the textualization of authors’ positions vis-à-vis disciplinary issues and other authors in a field (Hyland, 2005; Hood, 2006). For that reason, we chose to use discourse organizer inspired in Appraisal Theory (Martin & White, 2005) and developed by Wallace (2003) and Perales Escudero (2011). For each evaluative segment, this discourse organizer prompts students to identify the source of the evaluation, or Appraiser, and the focus of the evaluation, or Appraised. We didn’t use the SFL metalinguistic terms because a previous study (Perales Escudero, 2011) has shown that ‘evaluation’ is much more readily grasped by the target kind of learners than ‘Appraisal’ or ‘Attitude’ are. Table 3 shows an example of this discourse organizer filled for the following paragraph in Bardovi-Harlig (1999: 472 ).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines421 - : Regarding the different campaigns, in 1997 Fianna Fáil fought the election on the popularity of its leader, Bertie Ahern, and also focused on crime with its ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy. Crime was very much in the public eye as freelance journalist Veronica Guerin had been shot dead by gangsters in 1996 and there was a perception that certain criminals were ‘untouchable’ (Kinsella, 2013). The following paragraph from the General Election Manifesto (1997: 2) justifies why this election was so important: “[…] rarely has Ireland faced such a critical range of opportunities and threats . In the next five years, we have the choice of realising those opportunities or succumbing to those threats. The choice before the people is as stark as that”.
