The Interactive Function and Evaluative Expression of Confirmatory Progressive Structures
The article's detailed examination of the interactive function and evaluative expression of confirmatory progressive sentences leads to the finding that this syntactic structure is used to evalu-ate activities by responding to existing evaluations in a confirmatory manner before advancing to the speaker's evaluation.It occurs in a relatively stable distributional position in discourse and serves as an interactive function of either weakening differences or strengthening agreement,thereby uniting the listener.The presence or absence of an implied transition between clauses determines whether its interactive function is to weaken differences or strengthen agreement.Its evaluative meaning is de-rived from some evaluative devices involving evaluative parameter,nature of evaluation,and scalar difference of evaluation.Within this structure,there are three types that implement different evalu-ative behaviors;and the most frequently implemented evaluative act is to evaluate the same object u-sing different words.The clause relationship,interactive function,evaluative means,and evaluative behavior of this structure are all interconnected.
