基于评价理论的中国电影海外影评态度资源的跨文化分析

A Cross-Cultural Analysis of the Attitudinal Resources in a Chinese Movie’s Overseas Review from the Perspective of Appraisal Theory

已有研究较少考察评价理论在跨文化交际背景下的应用,且对电影影评中态度资源体现的跨文化效果涉及较少。鉴于此,本研究通过分析中国电影《流浪地球2》的海外影评中态度资源的分布特征来考察其跨文化效果。研究选取IMDb网站中65篇英文评论建立语料,通过态度资源分布数据的定量分析和对具体影评案例的质性解读,本研究发现:鉴赏资源的使用频率最高,其次是判断资源和情感资源;大多数影评都对这部电影表示了积极态度,表达了他们的喜爱、对其价值观的认同和赞赏。这部电影在唤起普世价值、传递中国观念、塑造国家形象等方面是一次成功的跨文化传播典范。The application of appraisal theory in cross-cultural communication contexts has rarely been explored, and research on the cross-cultural effects of movie reviews based on the attitudinal resource distribution features is less addressed. In light of this, the present study investigates the cross-cultural effects of the Chinese film The Wandering Earth 2 by analyzing the distribution characteristics of attitudinal resources in overseas reviews. A corpus consisting of 65 English reviews collected from the IMDb website is utilized for this analysis, employing both quantitative analysis of the distribution of attitudinal resources and qualitative interpretations of specific review cases. The study finds that the most frequently used resources are appreciation resources, followed by judgment resources and attitudinal resources. The majority of reviews express a positive attitude toward the film, conveying admiration and alignment with its values. This film serves as a successful model of cross-cultural communication in evoking universal values, conveying Chinese concepts, and shaping the national image.
