评价理论视角下国内主流媒体对“抗疫青年”的媒体形象构建研究

A Study of the Construction of Media Image of Anti-Epidemic Youth in Mainstream Chinese Media from the Perspective of Appraisal Theory

本文从评价理论视角,采用定性分析和定量分析相结合的方法,对选自国内主流媒体英文网站自疫情爆发以来有关“抗疫青年”的新闻语篇进行研究,探讨态度、介入、级差资源在相关新闻语篇中的分布比例与具体实现形式,进而描绘“抗疫青年”的媒体形象及其构建策略。研究发现,相关语篇主要通过判断系统,以显性判断与隐性判断相结合的方式,借助形容词作为主要语法实现形式,塑造了富有探索精神、开拓精神及决断精神的抗疫青年形象。

This paper studied the news discourses about “Anti-epidemic youth” selected from English web-sites of Chinese mainstream media since the outbreak of the epidemic from the perspective of appraisal theory by using the method of combining qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. It explored the proportion and specific forms of Attitude, Engagement, and Graduation resources in the relevant news discourses, and then described the media image of “Anti-epidemic Youth” and its construction strategies. It was found that the relevant news discourses mainly shaped the image of “Anti-epidemic youth” as the ones who were full of exploration spirit, pioneering spirit, and decisive spirit by the use of the judgment resources that combined explicit judgment with implicit judgment, with adjectives as the main grammatical form.
