批判式语篇分析在英语新闻语篇中的应用

论文摘要

该研究的目的在于对两篇分别选自纽约时报和华盛顿邮报的新闻进行批判性语篇分析。同时,与批判性语篇分析的目的相一致,本论文也致力于揭露隐含于书面语篇和口语演讲中的意识形态,以便使我们能够反抗和克服强行施加给我们权力或者使我们正确认识到我们也把某种权力强行施加于人。该论文探讨了两种进行批判性语篇分析的方法,即传统的韩礼德的系统功能语法和作者独创的认知的方法,新闻语篇理解的认知模式,以及一些相关的认知语言学模式诸如认知隐喻模式和突显观等,一起来分析新闻语篇。这样做的目的在于从语篇生成和语篇理解两个方面来进行批判性语篇分析,或者说既从作者或说话人和读者或听话人的角度来进行分析给定的语篇。本文采用了一种定量和定性相结合的方法论,即用通过设计的问卷调查得到的数据来验证作者新创的新闻语篇理解的认知模式的有效性和文中提出的假设的正确性。在使用系统功能语法和认知方法来实际分析两篇新闻语篇的过程中,作者从某种程度上揭露了通过特定的语言形式掩盖的隐性意识形态并且进一步验证了该新闻语篇理解的认知模式是可以被应用到批判性语篇分析中的,而且能够使读者借此对新闻语篇获得更透彻的理解。
