Doran, Martin & Zappavigna (2025: 89-90):
Building on the model developed in previous chapters, we will see that the development of background values implicates in particular the discourse semantic systems of ENGAGEMENT and INTERNAL CONNEXION… and leads to a fine-grained understanding of how interpersonal rhetoric unfolds. As for all resources in this book, we will illustrate how these resources are drawn on in both monologic and dialogic texts.
ChatGPT Comments:
The targeting of ENGAGEMENT and INTERNAL CONNEXION is appropriate, but the claim that this alone suffices for modelling “background values” is overstated. While these systems organise dialogic and evaluative positioning, the conceptual leap from their instantiation to axiological constellations requires careful mapping, which is not yet shown. In other words, the systems are necessary for describing interpersonal structure, but they are not sufficient for claiming insight into community-level values without empirical substantiation.
