Evaluative Language in the Comments of Judges of TV Reality Shows: The Case of “Ghana’s Most Beautiful

Author(s) Ellen Blessing Sobeng
Country Ghana
Abstract The study sought to investigate the language judges use to assess performances of reality show contestants. It specifically examined the attitudinal evaluative language judges of Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) show employ in their comments when assessing contestants’ performances. To realize the objectives set for the study, the appraisal framework by Martin and White (2005), which was developed within the broader theoretical framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and focuses on the interpersonal metafunction of language, informed the study. Fifty-two comments of four judges from six episodes of three seasons were recorded and transcribed for analysis. The study revealed that the dominant attitudinal resources used by judges as a means of evaluating contestants’ performances was judgement. Thus, while judges praise and admire, they criticize when necessary. Again, it was observed that the use of judgement as the dominant attitudinal device for evaluation appropriately reflected the purpose of GMB.
