With the improvement of legal system in our country, more attention is paid to the fair, efficiency and authority. In order to establish judicial authority, we need to consider the acceptability of judgment. The words used in the judgment will affect the audience on the acceptability, especially the words that affect the users'attitudes. Therefore, this paper will focus on the attitude words of judgements, and try to find out how attitude words affect the acceptability of judgements.Firstly, the paper proposes an analysis framework on attitude words of judgments. That analysis framework includes two parts:one part is the system of attitude words of judgements, which is revised on the base of the attitude subsystem in Martin's evaluation system; and the other part is the observation system of attitude words in judgments, which are divided into three sections - the fact, evidence, and reason sections. The system of attitude words of judgements is the focus of this chapter. There are three types of attitude words in judgments:judging attitude words, emotional attitude words, and modal attitude words. Judging attitude words refer to the words that reflect the users' judgment of objective things, emotional attitude words refer to the words with emotional colors, and modal attitude words refer to the words that reflect the interpersonal meanings.The paper also studies the use of those three types words with the corresponding role in the fact, the evidence and the reason part of the judgments.Secondly, the paper takes an empirical study on the attitudinal words in the judgments. It investigates the distribution of those three types of attitudinal words in the judgments, and futher find out the relationship between attitude words and the acceptability. The paper also studies the integrated uses of attitudinal words in the judgment. On the basis of this, the article analyzes the proper and improper use of attitudinal words.Finally, on the basis of analysis and empirical investigation, this paper put forward some suggestions on the use of attitudinal words in the judgment. The paper pointed out that the judge should pay attention to match attitudinal words with the role, should pay attention to match attitudinal words with the part of the judgment, should pay attention to the different uses of attitudinal words, should pay attention to the clarity of the attitudinal words and should unify the use of attitudinal words in the judgment.
