摘要
社论是一种劝说类语篇,对重要事件发表意见、表明态度或立场,以影响读者。但实现社论功能的语言手段如何,特别是中外社论有何差异有待进一步研究。本文以《中国日报》和《纽约时报》的社论语篇为语料,以评价理论为基础,对中外英语报刊社论的介入资源分布特征、这些特征的异同以及原因进行研究,结果发现,《中国日报》倾向于使用限制语篇空间的介入资源,保障其话语的权威性,以高于读者的姿态来引导舆论方向;《纽约时报》则偏好就一般的话题,使用扩展语篇空间的介入资源,强调多声的协商,以与读者平等的姿态出现来对读者提出商议。同时发现,这些特点与中外社论语篇的文化语境密切相关。
Editorials are the persuasive discourse and express opinions and views on important issues to influence readers. But it is worth studying that how the function is realized and what differences there are between the editorials of Chinese and foreign newspapers. Based on the Appraisal Theory, this paper makes a contrastive study of the engagement resources in the editorials of the China Daily and The New York Times, with the attempt to reveal the different distribution features of the engagement resources in the editorial discourse of the two newspapers and analyze the factors behind the differences. Through the systematic analysis, the author finds out that China Daily tends to use more contraction resources so as to contract the dialogic space, ensure the dis- course authority and lead the public opinions. The New York Times tends to use more expansion resources so as to expand the di- alogie space, enhance the heteroglossic negotiation and influence the readers with equal standing. It is also found out that these differences are closely related to the cultural context of the editorials of the two newspapers and ideology of the two nations.
