This article considers the application of the Attitude framework (Martin & White 2005) to study the evaluation of human behaviour. The distinction between inscribed (explicit) and invoked (indirect) attitude is re-examined and systematised to better operationalise the analysis of the evaluation of behaviour. General linguistic evaluation triggers are identified for inscribed and invoked evaluations, and the annotation scheme is applied in a corpus of texts from different registers (a psychiatric manual, educational guidelines and informal online exchanges) concerned with ADHD. Indirect evaluations of behaviour are described as attitudinal inferences derived from (i) the behaviours of the individuals, (ii) the behavioural outcomes, (iii) the impact that the behaviour or its outcomes have on third parties and the actions that the latter may perform as a result. It is proposed that indirect evaluations of people’s behaviour are metonymically inferred through an effect→cause relation drawn across the different parts of an action scenario. The conceptual metonymy explains the directionality observed in attitude analyses (Appreciation attitude type may stand as tokens of Judgment), and it shows the impossibility of evaluating performances without indirectly appraising the human behaver.

重新定义研究人类行为的明确和间接评价的态度

本文考虑应用态度框架 (Martin & White 2005) 来研究人类行为的评估。重新检查和系统化了刻录（明确）和调用（间接）态度之间的区别，以更好地操作行为评估分析。确定一般语言评估触发因素以进行铭记和调用评估，并将注释方案应用于来自与 ADHD 相关的不同登记册（精神病学手册、教育指南和非正式在线交流）的文本语料库。行为的间接评价被描述为从 (i) 个体的行为，(ii) 行为结果，(iii) 行为或其结果对第三方的影响以及第三方可能因此采取的行动。有人提出，通过在行动场景的不同部分绘制的效果→原​​因关系，可以转喻地推断对人行为的间接评价。概念转喻解释了态度分析中观察到的方向性（欣赏态度类型可以作为判断的标志），它表明在不间接评价人类行为的情况下评价表现是不可能的。
