Details	"This presentation explores the range of evaluative linguistic resources available for managing perspectives on the self. The analysis is carried out with Martin and White’s (2005) systemic model of Appraisal as a starting point with particular attention given to extending the management of heteroglossia. According to Martin and White (2005), textual perspectives can not only be divided between single (monglossic) and multiple (heteroglossic) perspectives but can also work to present alternative views unsympathetically (‘dialogically contractive’) or in a more sympathetic light (‘dialogically expansive’). This area of heteroglossic management is considered through an analysis of three texts which offer alternative views of a specific individual (also in generically different formats): a press interview with the British Cyclist Mark Cavendish (2010) given during the Tour de France; a report of an interview situation described in the cyclist’s autobiography (Cavendish, 2009) and an article about him in a British cycling magazine (Cycling Weekly, 2010). The resources introduced are proposed as an extension to the description of heteroglossia in Appraisal. Finally, some points will be made about generic differences between the three texts and the relevance of these differences to the analysis of the evaluative resources discussed."
