论新闻语言变异的修辞效果

Rhetorical Effects of Linguistic Deviations in Journalistic English

在新闻语言中,因题旨情境的需要而进行的语言变异能够达到比规范用法更加有效的修辞效果。语言既要有规范的结构又要在实践中创新。变异是在遵循语言结构规范原则的基础上进行语言建构创新的重要手段,那些符合语言现有规范一般规律的变异是语言发展的原动力之一,它们在表达概念意义和传递理性信息的基础上能够产生丰富的潜在信息和美学信息。部分变异有可能成为新的语言规范进入语言体系。

With theme and situation as the basic principle and standard for the use of rhetorical devices, this thesis attempts to analyze the rhetorical effects of linguistic deviation in presenting meaning and transmitting information in the language of news. The analysis of the rhetorical meaning and the potential and aesthetic information contained in deviational uses explores the rhetorical functions of linguistic deviations. The paper further points out that as an effective rhetorical device, linguistic deviation in news serves as an important means in the construction of a language system. Those that conform to the existing norms of the language are likely to make their way into the language itself, constituting a force that promotes language development.
