ositive Discourse Analysis (PDA), Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), Genres, Appraisal, Narratives.Abstract
Martin’s proposal (2004) of a Positive Discourse Analysis (PDA) is discussed in this article as a possible way of analyzing discourse from a systemic functional linguistics perspective. The narrative Amanhecer Esmeralda (Emerald Sunrise, my free translation) is analyzed from the genre and the appraisal perspective as a way of showing how narratives are a powerful tool in construing meaning and a possibility of using language to empower communities.
