从评价系统看国家领导人对外演讲的话语特色——以习近平主席在莫斯科关系学院的演讲为例

The Discourse Features of National Leaders' International Speeches from the Perspective of Evaluation System——Take President Xi Jinping's Speech at the Moscow Institute of Relations as an Example

评价理论是澳大利亚悉尼大学的Martin、White等人在20世纪90年代创立的一套理论系统。该理论源于韩礼德的系统功能语言学,它是对系统功能中人际功能的补充。本文以该理论为基础,选取习近平主席在莫斯科国际关系学院演讲的英文版作为语料,采用定性研究的方法,通过分析演讲中的评价资源来探讨习近平主席对外演讲的话语特色,进而揭示国家领导人对外演讲所传递的中国声音。

Appraisal theory is a set of theory system established by Martin and White from The University of Sydney in Australia in 1990 s. This theory stems from the systemic functional linguistics of Halliday,which is a supplement to interpersonal function. Based on the appraisal theory,this paper chooses the speech by President Xi at Moscow State Institute of International Relations as research corpus. The study employs qualitative approach to analyze appraisal resources in the speech so as to study the discourse features of the speech for international communication by President Xi,thus revealing the Chinese voice delivered by the leader of the country.
