话语–历史分析法和语境–指称空间模型的融合——以媒体话语的批评话语分析为例

Integration of Discourse-Historical Approach and Context-Deictic Space Model—A Case Study of Critical Discourse Analysis of Media Discourse

社会认知理论对话语–历史分析法有重要意义,而语境–指称空间模型则可以实现社会认知的可视化。本研究融合话语–历史分析法和语境–指称空间模型,比较美国媒体建构的“中国制造2025”和德国“工业4.0”形象的异同。研究发现,美媒将“中国制造2025”表征为消极的“他者”,将“工业4.0”表征为积极的“我者”。美媒通过操纵话语策略和公众的社会认知,影响社会结构,抹黑中国和“中国制造2025”,进而推动对华极限施压政策的合法化。本文也为话语–历史分析法与社会认知理论的结合做出了新的尝试。

Studies in Discourse-Historical Approach would gain significantly through introducing socio-cognitive theories into their framework, while Context-deictic Space Model can facilitate the visualization of social cognition. Therefore, this paper integrates Discourse-Historical Approach and Context-deictic Space Model. With the integration of Discourse-Historical Approach and Context-deictic Space Model, this study compares the image of Made in China 2025 and the image of German Industry 4.0, which are constructed by the American media’s reports. Analytical results suggest that the media of the United States lead to negative “other” representation of Made in China 2025 but positive “self” representation of German Industry 4.0. By manipulating discourse strategies and social cognition shared by the public, the media in the United States influence social structure. Furthermore, American media discredit China and Made in China 2025 in order to achieve the legitimation of the U.S. Government’s Maximum Pressure Strategy on China. This paper also provides a new attempt at elaborating Discourse-Historical Approach further with socio-cognitive theories.
