This study attempts to provide a thorough account of evaluative prosody under SFL Discourse Semantics,aiming to capture its development,its attribution to texture,its inherence as a mechanism of text process,and its application in persuasive genre.Specifically,evaluative prosody manifests the ways in which appraisal resources get packaged to establish and spread a certain in-terpersonal stance.It is the inter-dependency as well as repetition that scaffolds text process construction.In essence,evaluative texture makes a superordinate notion,and evaluative prosody a hyponym term.It is suggested that a proper understanding and use of terms be practiced.
