【摘要】：新闻标题位于新闻的开端,是新闻的组成部分,起着非常重要的作用。现代读者往往通过浏览新闻标题来获取主要信息,并决定是否要阅读全文。许多研究者从不同的角度对新闻标题进行了研究,然而很少有学者从系统功能语言学中主位理论的角度进行研究。本文将运用系统功能语言学的主位理论研究新闻标题。本文主要采用定量和定性相结合的分析方法对英语新闻标题中的不同主位进行分类研究,对《中国日报》和《卫报》中英语新闻标题的主位进行对比研究,指出相同点和不同点。语料来自于2016年下半年世界上的两件大事:G20峰会和里约奥运会。本文选取了《中国日报》和《卫报》对于这两件大事的相关新闻报导。分析表明,两种不同类型的新闻标题既有相似之处也有不同之处。相似之处在于:就数量而言,多重主位和非标记性主位多于单项主位和标记性主位。大多数多重主位都是由两种成分构成,并且大多数多重主位都是由人际主位和主题主位构成。就主题主位、人际主位和语篇主位而言,《中国日报》和《卫报》都包含大量的主题主位和人际主位。不同之处在于:《卫报》里的多重主位和无标记性主位多于《中国日报》;《卫报》里的主题主位、人际主位和语篇主位出现的频率比较高,而这些主位在《中国日报》里则出现的频率比较低。通过以上分析,本文得出了两个主要结论。首先,《卫报》和《中国日报》的编者在写英语新闻标题时都倾向于使用多重主位(人际主位和主题主位相结合)和无标记性主位。其次,《卫报》的新闻编者更倾向于使用多重主位、人际主位和主题主位,《中国日报》的新闻编者则更倾向于使用物质过程和限定成分来充当主位。因为,《卫报》中所有的新闻标题都是以英语为母语的编者写的,而《中国日报》中大多数新闻标题都是由中国人写的。因此,在编写英语新闻标题时,为了使标题更地道,新闻编者应该多采用多重主位(人际主位和主题主位相结合)、无标记性主位、连接状语和参与者成分充当主位。本文运用主位理论分析英语新闻标题,为新闻标题的研究提供了一个新视角,为系统功能语言学的运用提供了一个范例。然而,本文涉及的主位类型不多,英语新闻标题的来源不广。因此,今后的研究者应该扩大主位研究的类型、丰富语料的来源。
[Abstract]:News headlines, which are at the beginning of news, are part of news and play a very important role. Modern readers often browse the headlines to get the main information and decide whether to read the full text. Many researchers have studied news headlines from different angles, but few have done so from the perspective of thematic theory in systemic functional linguistics. This paper will use the thematic theory of systemic functional linguistics to study news headlines. This paper mainly uses the quantitative and qualitative analysis method to classify different themes in English news headlines, and makes a comparative study on the themes of English news headlines in China Daily and Guardian. Points out similarities and differences. The corpus comes from two major events in the world in the second half of 2016: the G20 summit and the Rio Olympics. This paper selects the relevant news reports of China Daily and Guardian on these two major events. The analysis shows that there are similarities and differences between the two kinds of news headlines. The similarity is that, in terms of quantity, multiple and unmarked themes are more than single and marked themes. Most multiple themes are composed of two components, and most multiple themes are composed of interpersonal themes and thematic themes. In terms of theme, interpersonal theme and discourse theme, the China Daily and the Guardian include a large number of thematic and interpersonal themes. The difference is that there are more multiple themes and unmarked themes in the Guardian than in the China Daily, while the themes, interpersonal themes and discourse themes in the Guardian appear more frequently than in the China Daily. These themes appear less frequently in China Daily. Through the above analysis, this paper draws two main conclusions. First, editors of the Guardian and China Daily tend to use multiple themes (a combination of interpersonal and thematic themes) and unmarked themes when writing English headlines. Secondly, the news editors of the Guardian are more inclined to use multiple themes, while the news editors of China Daily are more inclined to use material processes and limited elements to act as themes. Because all the headlines in the Guardian are written by native English editors, while most of the headlines in the China Daily are written by Chinese. Therefore, in order to make English news headlines more authentic, news editors should adopt multiple themes (interpersonal theme and thematic theme, unmarked theme, connective adverbial and participant component as the theme). This paper uses thematic theory to analyze English news headlines, which provides a new perspective for the study of news headlines and an example for the application of systemic functional linguistics. However, there are not many thematic types involved in this paper, and the sources of English news headlines are not wide. Therefore, researchers in the future should enlarge the types of thematic studies and enrich the sources of corpus.
