Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the descriptive and evaluative adjectives frequently used in tourism discourse and to determine the collocation of adjectives in the top five ranks. Additionally, the similarities and/or differences between Thais and native speakers in language usage of adjectives were investigated. This study was based on corpus material consisting of 20,000 tokens from each online news website. The data were retrieved from three online news websites: www.bangkokpost.com, www.nationmultimedia.com and www.bbc.com. The articles were collected between the years 2017 and 2018. The selected articles focused on destinations, excluding food and accommodations. The freeware concordance program AntConc version 3.4.4w with wordlist and concordance line functions was used to retrieve the data. The retrieved data were analyzed to determine the descriptive and evaluative adjectives that occurred with more than ten hits. The first five ranks of adjectives from each website were analyzed by means of concordance line to see the collocations. This study identified which nouns that adjectives in top five ranks from each website had a tendency to occur with (places, people, objects and abstract nouns). Finally, the results from three websites were compared to find out the similarities and/or differences between Thais and native speakers in language usage of adjectives. The results of the study showed that Thai websites (www.bangkokpost.com and www.nationmultimedia.com) had a slightly different number of descriptive and evaluative adjectives while the number of descriptive and evaluative adjectives on BBC website was distinctly different from Thai websites. Moreover, the selected adjectives tended to occur with common nouns, which are nouns of place and also abstract nouns. Thai writers seemed to use descriptive and evaluative adjectives more than writers who were native speakers
