Abstract

This study attempts to construe (1) the appraisal devices recognized in the “The Asean Cage” text? (2) how the readers may be positioned in the text. When a categorical technique based on Appraisal theory proposed by Martin and White (2005) was applied, the writers found out that the editorial text displays appraisal devices in different percentages (Affect-Attitude (3.03%), Judgment-Attitude (45.45%) and Appreciation-Attitude (51.52%); Mono-glossic-Engagement (0%), Dialogic Contraction-Engagement (58.3%) and Dialogic Expansion-Engagement (41.7%); Force-Graduation (97.8%) and Focus-Graduation (2.2%). Based on the analysis of Appraisal System, the readers may be positioned as those who accept the editor’s assessment about the condition between Indonesia and ASEAN. Key words: Editorial, Appraisal System, Attitude, Engagement, Graduation
