摘要
情态和模糊限制语相互交叉融合,有着独特的语义特征和丰富的语用功能。情态词是模糊限制语的重要组成部分,模糊限制语是语言情态化的重要手段。对比分析COCA体育英语新闻子库和通用英语语料库发现,情态模糊限制语可以对命题内容做出适度推测,含蓄委婉的表达观点和态度,同时邀请读者进行对话协商,使体育新闻语言表达更加客观中立,真实可信。
There are overlaps and fusions between modals and hedges, both of which have unique semantic features and pragmatic functions. Modal verbs are one of the important parts in hedges, while hedges are the important means of language modalization. Based on the comparison between COCA and two general corpora, this study further explores and summarizes the features of nine modal hedges in English sports news. The results show that modal hedges make modest assumptions on the content of propositions to implicitly express views and attitudes, meanwhile invite readers to dialogue and consultation, which makes the news more objective and trustworthy.
