AB The paper explores how insights developed within the Appraisal framework (Martin and White) into attitudinal meanings can contribute to some key, long-standing debates within translation studies and contrastive linguistics. It proposes that taxonomies developed within Appraisal for categorising diff erent types of positive and negative assessment provide a useful reference point for exploring how principled accounts of translational commensurability and incommensurability might be developed. Specifi cally, some methodologies are discussed fordeveloping comparative maps of the systems of attitudinal valeur which operate in diff erent languages. Some implications for Appraisal theory itself resulting from the exploration of these cross-linguistic comparison issues are discussed. It is proposed that the taxonomies already formulated within the Appraisal literature to deal with attitudinal meaning may need to be extended in delicacy, if they are to be maximally useful in dealing with such issues.
