SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION IN THE AXIOLOGICAL LEXICON

Main Article Content

Abstract:

Subjective evaluation is how speakers encode personal stance—approval, disapproval, certainty, doubt—through words and constructions. In the axiological lexicon, this appears in attitude words (excellent, unfair), stance operators (must, might, should), and discourse cues (hedges, boosters, sourcing). Drawing on Appraisal Theory and stance research, this note sketches the core layers (lexical, grammatical, discourse), shows how evaluations are scaled and aligned with audiences, and highlights cross-cultural differences that shape value talk.
