Evaluation is a central linguistic feature that expresses a writer’s critical stance and plays a prominent role in academic discourse. By using Martin and White’s (2005) appraisal framework, particularly regarding attitude, this study conducted a textual analysis of literature review chapters in master’s theses written by Taiwanese graduates. Attitude can be regarded as a manner of behavior caused by feelings and opinions. The review genre was selected for study because that is where the writer’s position toward the status of knowledge is displayed. Furthermore, studies have explored various types of linguistic features, and the data sources were mainly journal articles. Few studies have yet studied the review genre in master’s theses in applied linguistics written by master’s students. The results of the study will render additional understanding of advanced EFL Taiwanese learners’ evaluation in the literature review genre and offer advice for instructors in academic writing.

A popular notion is that authors in academic research articles merely convey propositional information. However, as Hyland has shown, authors in academic writing also use a range of devices to organize their texts, engage readers, and signal their attitudes to both their material and their readers (Hyland & Tse, 2004). In the present study, three counselor educators examined the use of the devices of Self-Mentions, Boosters, Attitude Markers, and Hedges within a stratified random selection of research articles from 24 peer-reviewed counseling journals. Compared to a reference corpus of social science articles, counseling journals contained a greater use of self-mentions, attitude markers, and hedges. Implications for writers submitting their research to peer-reviewed counseling journals were presented.
