摘要
以系统功能语言学关于语言人际元功能的讨论为理论框架,对所选社论语篇中指称美国现任总统的两种主要称谓形式如何构建人际意义进行探讨。研究表明,就指称总统的称谓形式而言,《纽约时报》社论具有选择"Mr."而非"President"的倾向性。这一方面是出于其履行媒体职能的需要;另一方面是交际参与者之间就阅读位置进行对话协商的结果。
Based on the Theory of Interpersonal Function within Systemic-Functional Grammar, this study aims at an interpersonal explanation of the two address terms mainly used in the editorials of The New York Times in reference to Barack Obama. Particularly, this paper attempts to explain why the editorial prefers ＂Mr.＂ to ＂president＂ in addressing the president. On one hand, this is required of by its function and obligation as mass media; on the other, it is the result of the interaction and negotiation in terms of reading position among discourse participants.
