国防部新闻发言人就南海问题答记者问语用分析

An Analysis of the Pragmatic Identities in the PRC National Defense Spokesmen’s Discourse on the South China Sea Dispute

以2015年1月至2019年4月国防部新闻发言人“涉南”话语为语料来源,分析发言人在回答记者提问时进行的话语实践及其建构的语用身份。研究发现,通过话语内容、词汇选择、言语行为等话语实践,国防部新闻发言人建构了国家主权捍卫者、地区合作推进者、世界和平建设者等三种语用身份。这些发现有助于国际社会正确理解中国外交政策,推进地区与世界和平。

This paper studies the discourse of the spokesmen of the National Defense of the People's Republic of China when answering the reporters'questions on the South China Sea dispute from January of 2015 to April of 2019.It finds that three pragmatic identities are situationally constructed by the spokesmen:the defender of national sovereignty,the promoter of regional cooperation,and the builder of world peace using different kinds of discourse strategies,such as the language contents,specific words,speech acts.These findings can help clear up misunderstandings from foreigners.
