情态系统视角下的网络话语分析——以新浪微博情感类语篇为例

Discourse Analysis of Network Language Based on Modality System——A Case Study of Emotional Network Discourse in Weibo

以情态系统为理论框架,运用定量和定性相结合的分析方法,对新浪微博情感类网络语篇中的情态语篇进行生态话语分析,并分析情态系统所实现的人际意义。网民倾向于使用能力或潜力情态和倾向情态来表达对某事的意愿,而较少表达对某事的义务,同时,说话人倾向于使用低量值情态词来表达自己的感受和观点,一方面为了维护听者的面子,另一方面有利于受众接受说话人的观点。

Taking modality system as the theoretical framework,this paper,by using quantitative and qualitative methods,makes an analysis of the ecological discourse of modal discourse and the interpersonal meaning realized by the modal system in the emotive network discourse of Sina Weibo.Netizens tend to use potential and inclination instead of obligation modality to express intentions;in the meanwhile,they tend to use the low-value modal words to express their feelings and opinions for the sake of not offending the audience.In this way,the speaker’s point of view can be easily accepted.
