【摘要】：纵观世界各国现代化的发展历程,智库在国家治理中发挥着日益重要的作用,逐渐成为治理体系和国家软实力中不可或缺的组成部分。根据美国宾夕法尼亚大学智库研究项目发布的《全球智库报告2016》,美国以1835家智库位列数量第一,中国以435家位列第二。近年来,随着智库的快速发展,新闻媒体对智库的关注度也迅速提高。因此,本研究基于自建新闻语料库,旨在探寻中美英文报道中智库的话语表征。本研究以"智库"为检索词,时间跨度为2005年至2014年,自建中美两个英语新闻语料库。其中,中国语料库文本来自China Daily,Shanghai Daily等四个新闻媒体,语料库容量约为100万词;美国语料库文本来自USA Today,The Washington Post等39个媒体,语料库容量约为2000万词。基于此,本研究着重探究了两个语料库中的主题词及智库的搭配,并结合索引行分析了两国英文媒体中智库的不同话语表征。研究结果显示,两国英文媒体对智库的关注点有诸多不同。首先,两国智库都密切关注国内热点并随时间迁移而变化;其次,中国媒体更关注官方智库,而美国媒体更关注独立智库及非盈利性智库;再次,在智库关注领域上,中国媒体报道中智库主要聚焦于国民经济发展,美国智库则关注领域较为广泛,从经济、军事到医疗、教育等领域在报道中均有体现;此外,两国智库对政策制定的贡献略有不同,具体体现为中国智库对政策的解读较多,美国智库在政策制定的过程中发挥了较多的提倡、建议等作用;最后,智库在中国媒体中常常被描述为高层次机构,而在美国媒体中则无这一体现。本文从历史环境、政治体制等多方面阐释了出现这些不同的可能原因。
[Abstract]:Throughout the development of modernization in the world, think tanks play an increasingly important role in the governance of the country, and gradually become an indispensable part of the governance system and national soft power.According to the Global think Tank report 2016, released by the University of Pennsylvania think-tank research project, the United States ranks first with 1835 think tanks, while China ranks second with 435.In recent years, with the rapid development of the think-tank, the news media pay more attention to the think-tank.Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the discourse representation of think tanks in English and Chinese reporting based on self-built news corpus.The present study uses "think tank" as the key word, covering the period from 2005 to 2014, and builds two Chinese and American English news corpus.Among them, Chinese Corpus texts come from four news media, such as China Daily and Shanghai Daily, with a Corpus capacity of about 1 million words, while American Corpus texts come from 39 media such as USA Todayay and the Washington Post, with a Corpus capacity of about 20 million words.Based on this, the present study focuses on the collocation of the subject words and think tanks in the two corpora, and analyzes the different discourse representations of the think-tanks in the English media of the two countries in combination with the index line.The results show that the English-language media in the two countries have different concerns about think tanks.Chinese media reports mainly focus on the development of the national economy, while American think tanks focus on a wide range of areas, ranging from economic, military to medical, educational and other fields. In addition,The contribution of the two countries' think tanks to policy formulation is slightly different, which is embodied in the fact that China's think tanks have more interpretations of policy, and the United States think tanks have played more roles in advocating and advising in the process of policy formulation. Finally,Think tanks are often described as high-level institutions in Chinese media, but not in American media.This paper explains the possible causes of these differences from historical environment, political system and so on.
