Stance in spoken and written university registers (2006, unknown): “The expression of evaluation and stance in academic research writing has been an especially popular area of research (e.g. Charles, 2003; Crompton, 1997; Grabe & Kaplan, 1997; Hunston, 1994; Hyland, 1994, 1996a,b; Meyer, 1997; Varttala, 2003).”
Metadiscursive nouns: Interaction and cohesion in abstract moves (2017, background): “While Charles (2003, 2007) and Jiang & Hyland (2016) have turned their attention to the interactional dimension of these nouns, this is largely unchartered territory.”
Appraising Research: Evaluation in Academic Writing (2010, background): “Commonly, such studies account for different distributions or preferences for a particular grammatical or lexical choice from one discipline or disciplinary region to another (e.g. Hyland 2000a; Charles 2003).”
