摘要
本研究以视觉语法和隐喻理论为基础,对西方报道的政治漫画进行多模态话语分析,探讨其如何向世界传达文化内涵和交际意图,以及视觉元素与语言元素之间如何通过互动构建意义,揭示所报道国的形象。研究表明:从视觉语法和隐喻机制对漫画的多模态分析是功能和认知的两个层面的研究,即社会功能和认知。通过视觉语法对漫画分析可知西方政治漫画构建知其然,而从隐喻机制对漫画分析可知西方典型思维认知方式的所以然。
Based on visual grammer and metaphor theory,this article tries to analyze political cartoons in the news reports of the West by taking a multimodal discourse analytic approach. The study attempts to exlplore how the West convey the cultural connotaions and communicative intentions through cartoons,and how the visual elements interatct with the liguistic elements to co-construe the image of a nation. The study reveals that such analysis of political cartoons dwells on two facets,i. e. social function and cognitive thinking. Visual grammatical analysis helps us to see the construction of western political cartoons while metaphorical mechanism enables us to discover the typical cognitive thinking mode in the West.
