中西方主流报刊“一带一路”报道批评话语分析与比较

Critical Discourse Analysis and Comparison of"The Belt and Road Initiative"Reports in Chinese and Western Mainstream Newspapers

分析中西方报刊对“一带一路”的话语构建对中国媒体的外宣工作有较大的参考价值。采用语料库批评话语分析方法,以中西方主流报刊“一带一路”相关报道为对象,通过文本中显著语言型式考察其内容与态度的异同。结果显示,中方报刊积极正面宣传“一带一路”倡议的原则、精神、成就和影响,英美等西方主流报刊虽有部分中性、正面报道,但不少内容突出“竞争”与“威胁”,对“一带一路”倡议充满质疑和担忧,将其视作经济侵略和扩张,威胁英美等国的政治、经济利益。此类差异根源于中国与西方国家不同的价值观念、意识形态和国家利益与立场。

The analysis of the discourse construction of"The Belt and Road Initiative"in Chinese and western newspapers is of great reference value to the publicity work of Chinese media.In this study,corpus-based critical discourse analysis is used to investigate the similarities and differences in content and attitudes of"The Belt and Road Initiative"in mainstream newspapers in China and the West through significant language patterns in the texts.The results show that Chinese newspapers actively and positively publicize the principles,spirit,achievements and influence of the"The Belt and Road Initiative".While many of the mainstream western newspapers highlight"competition"and"threat"and they are full of doubts and worries about the"The Belt and Road Initiative"and regard it as economic aggression and expansion,threatening the political and economic interests of Britain and the United States and other countries.Such differences are rooted in different values,ideologies and national interests between China and the western countries.
