AB The present article contributes to research on evaluation by addressing twocomplementary objectives: first, we present a protocol for the identificationand annotation of evaluation in English discourse and, second, we show theresults of the implementation of the protocol in the annotation of evaluationin a sample of a corpus of four genres. We first describe the protocol bydiscussing the theoretical and methodological grounding of the annotationscheme, the criteria, the categories, the steps for the implementation of theprotocol and an illustrative example of the application of the protocol to ashort extract. We subsequently provide the preliminary results of a pilotstudy with the frequency of evaluative expressions across the four genres.Results show that while adjectives and non-metaphoric evaluativeexpressions are overall more frequent, there are differences regarding thepreference for positive or negative value and regarding the frequency offunction.
