Annotation

To grasp the differences between ‘preferred reading’ and actual readings, this paper, drawing on the context models and the Appraisal framework, assays 785 readers’ comments attached to 23 hard news stories sourced from the China Daily mobile application (APP) and the People’s Daily Online website. The readers’ context models are the cognitive link between discourse properties and social strategies in the process of news understanding.
