In human communication, language is really important because it helps us express ourselves and connect with others by sharing ideas, feelings, and information. Appraisal Theory of Engagement explains how language and emotions are connected. Engagement with the audience involves creating a connection between the speaker or writer and the intended recipients of the message. The research employs qualitative techniques on kinds of engagement system reflected by the host of BBC: The Big Questions.

BBC News.”  The result showed that there are 7 Monoglossic clauses and 86 Heretoglossic clauses.
