5.1 General Different Use of Stance Markers in Gender Language

Markers in this Corpus Concerning stance markers proposed by Precht, the number of stance markers in this corpus is 130 (see Table 2). According to the newly built theoretical framework, stance  markers  are  classified  into  four  groups---hedges,  boosters,  attitudinal  stance markers  and  self-mention  stance  markers  and  the  former  three  groups  are  further categorized  into  two  groups  in  each  category.  As  stance  markers  belong  to  different stance  categories,  the  number  of  stance  markers  in  each  category  is  imbalance  (see Table 3). From the table, a picture of common stance markers in this corpus is shown. The biggest  type  number  of  stance  markers  are  attitudinal  stance  markers,  which  take  up nearly  42%.  Previous  studies  find  that  people  use  adjectives  or  adverbs  to  comment things and the majority of attitudinal stance markers are adjectives, which may result in the tendency of using attitudinal stance markers. The second largest type number of stance  markers  are  boosters  which  occupy  27%  and  exceed  the  number  of  hedges. Hyland  (2005)  remarks  that  hedges  are  the  most  frequent  stance  in  written  register, yet  boosters  are  used  more  often  than  hedges  in  this  corpus,  reflecting  some differences  between  written  language  and  spoken  language.  The  type  number  of stance  markers  in  the  self-mention  is  the  least.  However,  it  does  not  mean  that  the frequency  of  self-mention  stance  markers  are  the  lowest  as  person  pronouns  are always  used  as  the  beginning  of  announcements.  It  occupies  only  7%  because  these self-mention words are fixed in grammatical words.

Conclusion

This  part  will  summarize  above-mention  findings  and  describe  teaching implications of results and finally give limitations in this paper for future studies. With reference to stance marker studies proposed by Hyland, Biber, Wu and He, this  paper  attempts  to  study  similarities  and  differences  of  stance  markers  by  British men  and  women  in  a  spoken  corpus  of  BNC,  S:  conv.  In  light  of  this,  the  major findings based on the data statistics of the corpus are summarized in macroscopic and micros本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
