二十大报告英译本中国家形象的情态建构

The Modality Construction of National Image in the English Version of Report to the 20th CPC National Congress

基于系统功能语言学的情态系统理论,通过语料库对比研究的方法探讨了二十大报告英译本情态资源的使用特征及其对国家形象的建构。研究发现,二十大报告英译本的情态资源属于文体突出的前景化资源,各板块内容在情态资源的频数、量值和类型上使用了不同的配置策略,建构了“真实型”“坚定型”和“担当型”的中国国家形象。研究结果有利于优化政治话语实践文本中的情态资源配置,为国家形象建构和中国政治话语文本风格研究提供语言学方案。

Based on the modality system in systemic functional linguistics,this paper discusses the features of modality resources and their contribution to China’s national image construction in the English version of Report to the 20th CPC National Congress in a comparative corpus approach.It is found that the modality resources in the report are foregrounded with particular stylistic features.Different modality allocation strategies are used in different sections in terms of frequency,value and type,which construct the“true”,“firm”and“responsible”China’s national image.The research results are conducive to optimizing allocation of modal resources in the practical texts of political discourse and providing linguistic schemes for national image construction and the stylistic study of Chinese political discourse texts.
