“…There are only partial and initial descriptions of appraisal resources for the Spanish language. In particular, this contribution has been done by discourse analysts who have applied the system of appraisal to their written or spoken corpora in Spanish language, providing some elaborations of new categories of the sub-system of attitude (Fernández, 2017; Oteíza, 2017, 2019; Oteíza and Pinuer, 2019), proposing new graduation categories for force as quantification and intensification of chronological and metaphorical meanings of time (Oteíza and Pinuer, 2013), applying the appraisal system to different language contexts from a critical and social discourse analysis perspective (Achugar, 2016; Kaplan, 2007; Oteíza and Castro, 2019; Oteíza and Pinuer, 2016; Pascual, 2017), conducting comparative analysis between languages from a corpus linguistics approach (Carretero and Taboada, 2014; Taboaba et al, 2014), or advancing interpersonal descriptions of the Spanish Mood system at the lexicogrammatical stratum (Lavid et al, 2010; Quiroz, 2018). These studies have proven to be valuable explorations in the Spanish language because they have demonstrated that, at a higher level of functioning, the interpersonal categories of graduation proposed in the model by Martin, White and colleagues are a useful set of analytical tools for identifying authors’ graduated attitudinal positionings in different fields and genres in written and oral Spanish language.…”
