【摘要】 批评性话语分析作为一种语言分析方法,正引起外语界的广泛关注。它扩大了语篇分析的视野,将分析角度由语篇结构引向社会构成这一较高层次。本研究用中央人民广播电台(CNR)和美国之音(VOA)广播新闻,分析语篇异同,研究新闻语篇如何影响听者的理解,力求为广播新闻的听众提供一个判断语篇的新视角。根据Van Dijk和Fairclough的理论框架,本研究采用批评性话语分析和系统功能语法相结合的方法,探索新闻背后的意识形态、权势和介入,研究语言表达一个国家政治声音的运作机理。一方面,揭示新闻语篇影响听众的诸多方式;另一方面,从语言学角度探求媒体的作用。本研究从词汇分类、及物性、转化和主位选择等方面切入,揭示语篇运用机理和动机,从多维的角度探索媒体语篇的形式和内容。选取的语篇是大众媒体语篇中的广播新闻,分析的语料源于中央人民广播电台和美国之音中六篇有关朝鲜核试验的英汉新闻。语篇的对比分析表明中央人民广播电台和美国之音的广播新闻在及物性和主位选择方面具有相似性,而在词汇选择、转化和转述引语方面具有一定的差别。本研究采用批评性话语分析的方法对英汉广播新闻语篇进行了初步的对比研究,试图为学习英语的中国大学生提供语篇评判的新视角和进行语篇赏析的思维方法,以提高大学生听取广播新闻时的语言审美意识和批判思维能力。更多还原

【Abstract】 Critical discourse analysis (CDA), as an important approach to the analysis of language, has drawn great attention of linguistics world. The present study aims to investigate the similarities and differences between broadcast news on China National Radio (CNR) and Voice of America (VOA), to analyze how the language used in these discourses influences the listener’s understanding of them, and finally to help them formulate their own judgment.The research methodology employed in this study is a combination of systemic-functional grammar and critical discourse analysis. Based on Fairclough’s theoretical framework, a critical discourse analysis of the broadcast news was conducted so as to explore the ideology, power, and access behind the news. The analyses examined the way in which language is used by the press as a powerful social institution that produces discourse to represent the political voices of the nation. More importantly, the critical discourse analyses demonstrated how news can be conceived of as discourse and how one might infer media effects from linguistic features; and provided a textual warrant for interpretation to get some insights into the nature of media text, particularly form and content. Lexical classification, transitivity, and thematic choice are in focus.The discourses chosen are the sub-variety of mass media discourses—broadcast news, which is an important mode to convey the political voices. Data collected include six pieces of news taken from CNR and VOA respectively within two weeks, which are all about North Korea nuclear testing. Corpus-based, the study reveals that in broadcast news, reporters use some techniques to embed their attitudes and ideologies in the discourses. The contrastive analyses suggest that the CNR and VOA news share some similarities in transitivity and thematic choice, while they differ in classification, transformation and speech reporting.The thesis is a preliminary study on the contrastive analysis of broadcast news from CDA perspective, providing readers, especially university students in China with a critical thinking approach, so that they can develop their critical language awareness when listening to broadcast news in English.更多还原
