Abstract

Quantifier is that people used to indicate the classification and quantitative means to people, things, actions, usually in the form of words or phrases appear after the numeral before the noun. Quantifier combination of people remember the number of language resources. The different language general different quantifiers system, such as Chinese and English, Chinese the quantifiers colorful, usage complex and changeable, and English can be seen as basically no quantifiers areas, only a small number of terms borrowed quantifier. But different language areas is not humanity different understanding on a number of areas, a table is a table where not different because the English and Chinese, not because the speaker's subjective into two tables. Has been linguists generally believe that the main function of the quantifier scope is used to express the information function, terminology of systemic functional linguistics, is the concept of function. Quantifiers always mainly related to the concept of function analysis. But in fact, most of the scholars did not notice the Chinese part of the quantifiers can express the interpersonal function, such as the quantifier \\But this quantifier is scarce, usage is also relatively fixed, so there was not much research. But the quantifiers \First, other quantifiers generally have a fixed modified object, \to modify. Secondly, a common structure has two, one is a typical structure, which is the \As this study to be described as \This paper argues that a \own subjective views, not just pass in a typical structure of the concept of significance. That is, the quantifier The significance of the expression is not limited to the relevant quantity, and also includes a speaker for the value judgment of the objects involved in the \The study found that only a \Accordingly, and in the past confined to the conceptual meaning of the research, this study, James Martin's evaluation system analysis of the theory of interpersonal meaning resources as the theoretical basis to analyze the meaning of the clause level, \the dynamic interpersonal meaning \The entire structure reflects the interpersonal meaning of the speaker of discourse phenomena assignment makes the speaker to express his / her interpersonal attitudes through structural interventions since the words \When the action name three components combined into a \fulcrum \Speaker determine the value of the depreciation of the resources selected by the intervention of the \limited to his / her intervention the semantic fulcrum when the discourse, the speaker is to use this fulcrum to influence the other objects, the interpersonal meaning gradually diverging wave rhyme, flow formed within the discourse of evaluation resources. The paper concluded that \The attitude of the object is expressed by the term \The second is the attitude of a negative evaluation. Attitude object is a \The third negative attitudes.

The first chapter is a brief description, a brief introduction of motivation, meaning, objectives and research questions and articles framework. The second chapter is a literature review. The article reviews the literature of senior scholars for the quantifiers research and evaluation theory, the previous quantifier syntax and semantic features is the science of great significance, but also has a functional point of view is not comprehensive enough, appraisal theory complementary binding on the nature of quantifiers deeper excavations. The third is the theoretical framework. Made a detailed article on the theoretical basis of the theoretical characteristics and application of appraisal theory, especially the study of this article is closely related to the three major subsystems: attitude, involvement and differential. The evaluation system is a new development of systemic functional linguistics, James Martin in the early 1990s on the basis of systemic functional linguistics evaluation system theory, research assignment semantics of the speaker's further development of the system functional language school. The fourth chapter is the analysis of a \This paper argues that the \In between, constitute the meaning of the verb 'a' noun \The fifth chapter is the conclusion of the article.

This article concludes that the speaker by using a \desalination, and the second is to determine the class that the behavior of a structure actors, actors of social dignity and ability to belittle and fade, and the third is the emotional classes, namely, \the negative emotions of the actors. The three attitude vocabulary recessive, and can only be embodied by the structure gestalt. From one side to reveal the diversification of means of language users ideological discourse object assignment, evaluation of resource assignment can occur not only in the vocabulary layer, you can also syntactic structure to reflect.
