从顺应论角度分析英语新闻中的转喻

论文摘要

转喻作为一种重要的认知工具和交际策略广泛地应用在英语新闻中,以唤起读者的注意力和兴趣。本文分析了报刊英语新闻中转喻在词汇、语法和语篇层面的使用情况。维索尔伦顺应理论从一个新的视角全面地阐述了人类语言产生和理解的动态过程。本文以顺应理论为框架对报刊英语新闻中转喻现象进行全面的分析和解释。顺应理论表明转喻在英语新闻中的运用不是任意的,而是具有顺应性的言语选择。转喻顺应了读者希望在短时间内获取、理解新闻以及报道者希望运用转喻实现对新闻准确的报道的心理世界。转喻的使用也顺应了社交世界。转喻的突显性顺应了新闻语言的感知与呈现。在这一顺应过程中,转喻的语用功能得到了充分的体现。
