及物性视角下新能源汽车新闻报道的生态话语分析

An Analysis of the Ecological Discourse of New Energy Vehicle News Reports from the Perspective of Transitivity

本文选取了《中国日报》上有关新能源汽车的新闻报道,自建小型语料库,从及物性视角出发,对报道中的小句进行生态话语分析,主要探究在这些新闻报道中,及物性过程是如何分布的以及生态意识和生态观念是如何体现的。研究发现,新能源汽车新闻报道涉及四种及物性过程,其中言语过程使用频率最高,然后依次是物质过程和关系过程,心理过程使用频率最低;四种及物性过程的使用不仅体现了公众对新能源汽车的积极倾向和态度,更揭示了人们对汽车驱动转变背后的生态取向,表现了新能源汽车新闻报道背后的生态观念,具有积极的生态意义。

In this paper, through electing news reports on new energy vehicles from China Daily and building a small corpus to conduct an ecological discourse analysis of the clauses in the news reports from the perspective of transitivity, the main focus is on exploring how transitivity processes are distributed and how ecological awareness and ecological environment ideas are reflected in these news reports. The research has found that news reports on new energy vehicles involve four types of transitivity processes, with the highest frequency of verbal processes, followed by material and relational pro-cesses, and the lowest frequency of mental processes. The use of the four transitivity processes not only shows the positive tendencies and attitudes of the public towards new energy vehicles, but also reveals the ecological orientation behind the transformation of car driving, and demonstrates the ecological ideas behind new energy vehicle news reports, which has positive ecological significance.
