For that purpose, we follow appraisal theory (Martin 2000,\nMartin & Rose 2003, White 2005) and analyze the semantic-discursive component of attitude, in\nthree levels of expression: affect, judgment and appreciation. Results reveal a high presence of\nevaluative elements in the three levels. There are resources of positive evaluation in the expression\nof affect and appreciation. Regarding judgment, we find resources which evidence negative social\nsanction from the ethical perspective.esHumanitiesPsychologyPhilosophyarticle
