论文摘要: 新闻英语语篇具有修辞性。广义上讲,新闻英语语篇的修辞性表现在:新闻英语在实现新闻信息交流的过程中,如何传递新闻价值,如何劝说读者接受新闻所报道的一切。本文在汲取古代修辞学,博克新修辞学,交际学,符号学和话语分析等学科的研究成果,建构新闻英语语篇的修辞分析理论框架,试图从修辞学的全新视角分析新闻英语的劝说功能。从普通修辞学的理论中,本文建立了适合分析新闻英语语篇的修辞分理论框架。任何修辞活动具有三个本质特征:演讲性,符号性及道理性。为了达到劝说的目的,修辞学常使用三种劝说模式:逻辑诉求,情感诉求及道德诉求。“主题”被认为是为实现三种劝说模式挖掘材料,发展段落的有效途径。劝说性语篇须遵循两大准则:语篇组织形式及风格。前者指语篇的宏观组织结构,后者指选词,句法及修辞手段。现代修辞学家博克遵从古修辞学的语篇劝说研究的传统,提出了五要素分析法,揭示了隐含在语篇中的劝说目的,为进一步分析“语篇劝说功能”提供了理论依据。本文共分九章。第一章简要介绍了与本研究相关的两大基本概念——新闻英语及新闻价值,并概述了主要研究目标。第二章对国内外有关新闻英语及语篇的研究做了简要介绍。第三章在结合古修辞学及博克新修辞学的基础上,建立了适合分析新闻英语语篇的修辞分理论框架。第四章分析了新闻英语语篇作为修辞活动的劝说本质:故事性劝说,符号性劝说,及道理性劝说。第五章分析了新闻英语语篇中使用的三种劝说模式:逻辑诉求,情感诉求及道德诉求。第六章详细分析了新闻英语语篇中为实现三种劝说模式的所常用的主题发展模式:比较模式,关系模式及描写模式。第七章主要分析新闻英语语篇遵循的两大劝说准则——语篇组织和风格。为实现劝说目的,新闻英语语篇形成了独特的宏观修辞结构。本章从修辞学的角度出发,针对新闻英语语篇特色,建立了新闻英语语篇的修辞结构图,并分析了新闻英语语篇在用词,句法及修辞手段等方面的独特风格。第八章运用五要素分析法,对隐含在新闻英语语篇中的目的作了一定的分析。第九章为结论部分,对全文进行了总结,并指出进一步研究的方向。
