      abstract = {This book offers up-to-date insights into the  long-standing controversy of whether or not Chinese  learners of English adequately express their attitudes in  written English. It compares four writing datasets from  three groups of student writers (e.g., English-speaking  students’ English texts, Chinese-speaking students’  Chinese texts, and both English and Chinese texts produced  by the same group of Chinese-speaking students majoring in  English), and applies the appraisal framework, an  analytical tool developed in the field of Systemic  Functional Linguistics. The book provides a nuanced view of  the deployment of attitudinal patterns and the linguistic  resources used for attitudinal evaluation in Chinese  students’ English writing. Accordingly, it offers a  valuable resource for all those interested in second  language writing, contrastive rhetoric, second language  acquisition and systemic functional linguistics. .},
