深生态学视角下生态话语的经验功能分析——以《光明数字报》的配图生态新闻为例

A study on the experiential function of ecological discourses from the perspective of deep ecology:The case of ecological news from Guangming Online

生态话语分析是生态语言学研究中的一个重要内容,但已有研究中针对有益性话语的研究并不多见。这显然与生态语言学的研究宗旨有一定差距。本文选取了《光明数字报》中的42篇配图生态新闻作为语料,以深生态学为生态哲学,分析新闻的经验功能并研究其语言特点。研究发现,语料属于有益性话语,其中常见的及物性过程为动作过程和关系过程,非人类生态实体作为施事或载体有利于突显自然生态的能动性,符合深生态学的生态哲学。此外,非人类行为者的行为过程和语法词汇层也对实现深生态哲学观的表达有一定的促进作用。

Ecological analysis of discourse, a significant part of ecolinguistic study, mainly focuses on destructive discourses, which is far away from the research purpose of eco-linguistics. In this paper the experiential function of 42 pieces of ecological news taken from Guangming Online is studied from the ecosophical perspective of deep ecology. The major findings are: firstly, beneficial discourses characterize news, where action and relational processes are the major processes, and secondly, non-human ecological entities being the Agents or Carriers contribute to expressing a deep ecological ideology. In addition, behavioral processes with non-human Actors and atypical lexicogrammatical patterns also contribute to the realization of deep ecological processes.
