概念整合视角下抗疫主题新闻漫画多模态隐喻的生态内涵研究

The Ecological Analysis on Multimodal Metaphor of News Cartoons on Fighting against COVID-19 from the Perspective of Conceptual Blending Theory

随着《我们赖以生存的隐喻》一书面世,人们逐渐意识到,隐喻不仅是一种修辞手法,更是一种思维模式。科技的进步使新闻媒体传播迅速地进入多元化时代,改变着读者的阅读习惯,使我们的生活丰富多彩。新闻漫画以其独特的现实性、艺术性、幽默性和讽刺性成为一种大众喜闻乐见的报道形式,在新闻传播中发挥着日益重要的作用。它不仅帮助读者解析时事,也引导着大众舆论的导向。本文以概念整合为研究视角,选取《中国日报》旗下网站——中国新闻漫画网中有关中国抗疫的三幅新闻漫画为研究对象并对其生态含义进行分析。本研究发现,中国新闻漫画网上有关抗击疫情的漫画体现了“加强国际合作,携手共抗疫情”的思想,有助于凝聚团结合作抗击疫情的力量,推进国际生态系统的可持续发展。

The publication of the monograph, Metaphors we live by, points out that metaphor should not only be viewed as a rhetorical device, but also a thinking pattern. With the development of science and technology, the dissemination of news media has rapidly entered the era of diversification, changing readers’ reading habits and making our life colorful. News cartoon, with its practical significance, artistry, humorous and satirical skills, has become a popular form of reporting and is playing an increasingly important role in news dissemination. It not only helps readers to interpret current events, but also guides the direction of social opinions. Based on the Conceptual Blending Theory, this paper selects three news cartoons about China’s fighting against COVID-19 from http://www.newscartoon.com/, which is the subordinate website of China Daily, as research object and makes an analysis of the ecological connotation. This paper finds that these news cartoons selected from http://www.newscartoon.com/ embody the thought of “strengthening international cooperation to confront COVID-19”, which helps to gather the cooperative strength and to promote the sustainable development of the international ecosystem.
