This study aims to describe the classification of Japanese evaluative expressions according to value types, and to construct a dictionary of attitudinal lexis based on the classification. For the classification, the English system of ATTITUDE proposed by Appraisal theory was modified for application to Japanese based on the examination of 8,544 evaluative expressions that were collected from a dictionary. As for the construction of the dictionary of attitudinal lexis, the 8,544 expressions were annotated based on the modified system of ATTITUDE. In addition, the present study tested the validity of the modified system, using the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese. From the corpus, 182,351 evaluative expressions were identified, and the relationship between the types of evaluative expressions and the categories of the Nihon Decimal Classification were investigated using a multivariate statistical analysis. The result of the analysis indicates that similar categories in the modified system are, in fact, utilised in the same or similar kinds of Nihon Decimal Classification categories, supporting the validity of the modified system from the perspective of Harris's distributional hypothesis.
