Abstract:
This paper aims to analyze appraisal resources in reports of China Daily and BBC commenting on Wolf Warrior 2. Under the framework of Appraisal Theory, the author classifies the appraisal resources in two news discourses. It is revealed that the total amount of attitudinal resources of BBC is more than that of China Daily. The Appreciation resources are most frequently used in two reports, which shows that the news writers prefer to aesthetic evaluation; the Judgment and Affect resources in the BBC are used more often than those in China Daily, which indicates that the news writer of BBC is more subjective when commentating on Wolf Warrior 2.
