摘要
框架理论是一个语义研究的新视角,语言信息和词汇语义可以唤起框架;框架的构建有助于我们对语言表达的理解。本文从框架理论视角分析二战后美国总统就职演说中自由民主主题下的语言表达,发现美国总统使用一些特定语言词汇成功构建一个"英雄"框架来塑造美国的"英雄"形象,并把美国推广自由民主价值观的行为框定为"正义"与"邪恶"之战。
Frame theory provides a new perspective for semantic research.Linguistic information and lexical meaning can evoke a frame and the construction of the frame is conducive to raising our understanding of linguistic expressions.Based on frame theory,this article focuses on linguistic expressions on the theme of values of freedom and democracy in American presidential inaugural speeches after World WarⅡ.It is found that American presidents frame American government as a hero and construct the moral framing of promoting values of freedom and democracy as a battle between "good and evil" by the use of some specific lexical items.
