ABSTRACT

Based on the theory of stance in interactive linguistics and the corpus of Bridging Cultures, this paper studies the stance-taking of advanced oral English. By using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research to sort out and analyze the advanced oral corpus, the research finding suggests that people mainly use adjectives to express positive and negative stances, followed by nouns and verbs. Among the many grammatical constructions to express stances, “sub +is +adj” is the dominant structure, followed by “adv +adj”. It mainly presents four kinds of stance-taking in advanced oral English based on Bridging Cultures teaching materials: (1) Positively evaluation stance-taking; (2) positive attitude stance-taking; (3) negative evaluation stance-taking; and (4) negative attitude stance-taking.
