新冠疫情下微博新闻标题中女性医护人员的身份建构研究

A Study on the Identity Construction of Female Medical Staff in Microblog News Headlines during COVID 19

本文基于语用身份理论,以《人民日报》微博在新冠疫情期间发布的有关女性医护人员的新闻标题为语料,探讨疫情语境中女性医护人员的身份建构。研究发现,微博新闻标题主要建构了女性医护人员的默认职业身份,同时也建构了抗疫战士、奉献者和服务提供者等变异身份。新闻标题整体上没有刻意呈现女性医护人员的性别身份,仅在建构其职业身份和抗疫战士身份时有少量体现。身份建构的话语策略包括指称语、隐喻、网络流行语、网络副语言等,体现了新闻标题吸引读者注意,有效传递新闻内容的语用功能。

This paper,through an analysis of the news headlines about female medical staff issued by microblog People s Daily during COVID 19,explores their identity construction in the context of COVID 19 within the framework of pragmatic identity theory.Results show that female medical staff in microblog news headlines are primarily constructed as default professional identities and some deviational identities,the latter encompassing the identities of epidemic fighter,dedicator and service provider.The gender attributes of female medical workers tend to be neutral on the whole,but only mark small presences in constructing professional identity and the identity of epidemic fighter.The discourse strategies such as referential terms,metaphors,network catchwords,network paralanguages are adopted to construct manifold identities so as to attract readers attention and effectively convey news content.
