【摘要】：VOA社论节目反映了美国政府的观点,是美国政府对外宣传的政治工具。其主要目的是通过对某一重大新闻事件的报道来发表观点、阐述见解,从而影响受众的社会行为。作为英语学习者,了解并识别VOA社论特殊的人际意义并保持独立思考很有必要。因此,本研究认为研究VOA社论有重要意义。人际功能指的是人们使用语篇与别人建立人际关系,通过语言来表达自己观点并试图影响或改变别人看法等。人际语法隐喻是实现人际意义的重要手段,在社论英语中起着重要作用。因此,本文试图从人际语法隐喻理论视角来分析VOA社论语篇。本研究认为,揭示VOA社论语篇中的人际意义有多方面的意义:第一,这有助于我们更好地解读VOA社论;第二:这有助于我们理解VOA社论的评论意图和政治目的;第三,这可以为社论的编辑和教学提供更好的建议。此外,揭示VOA社论语篇中的人际意义可以为外语学习者在说服性文章写作方面提供借鉴和帮助。本研究以人际语法隐喻为理论框架,采用定性研究的方法对随机从VOA官网上选取的45篇社论语篇进行研究。通过仔细研读抽样文本,并借鉴韩礼德的人际语法隐喻理论,我们得出了如下结论:1)在VOA社论语篇中,语气隐喻的数量多于情态隐喻,其原因是作为政治大国的美国需要借助语气隐喻来体现其坚定的政治立场和树立其大国权威;2)VOA社论中的人际语法隐喻造成了社论编撰者和听众之间的互动,隐蔽地传递了观点,暗含了美国政府的外交策略,在影响听众意识和行为方面发挥着重要作用。因此,本文旨在运用人际语法隐喻理论分析VOA社论语篇中隐含的美国政府的真实意图和目的,帮助读者提高新闻鉴赏能力。
[Abstract]:The VOA editorial program reflects the views of the U.S. government and serves as a political tool for its outreach. Its main purpose is to express opinions and opinions through reporting on a major news event, thus influencing the social behavior of the audience. As English learners, it is necessary to understand and recognize the special interpersonal meaning of VOA editorials and to think independently. Therefore, this study believes that the study of VOA editorials is of great significance. Interpersonal function refers to the use of discourse to establish interpersonal relationships with others, to express their views through language and to try to influence or change other people's views. Interpersonal grammatical metaphor is an important means to realize interpersonal meaning and plays an important role in editorial English. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze VOA editorial discourse from the perspective of interpersonal grammatical metaphor theory. The present study holds that revealing interpersonal meaning in VOA editorial discourse has many meanings: first, it helps us to better interpret VOA editorials; second, it helps us to understand the editorial intention and political purpose of VOA editorials; and thirdly, it helps us understand the political purpose of VOA editorials. This can provide better suggestions for editorial editing and teaching. In addition, revealing the interpersonal meaning in VOA editorials can provide reference and help for foreign language learners in persuasive writing. The present study uses interpersonal grammatical metaphor as a theoretical framework and adopts a qualitative approach to study 45 editorial discourses randomly selected from VOA's official website. By carefully studying the sample texts and drawing lessons from Halliday's interpersonal grammatical metaphor theory, we draw the following conclusions: 1) in VOA editorial discourse, the number of modal metaphors is more than that of modal metaphors; The reason is that the United States, as a political power, needs to use mood metaphor to embody its firm political position and establish its authority. 2) the interpersonal grammatical metaphor in VOA editorials leads to interaction between editorial writers and listeners, and covert transmission of views. Implicit in the U. S. government's diplomatic strategy, plays an important role in influencing audience awareness and behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the real intention and purpose of the American government in VOA editorial discourse by using the interpersonal grammatical metaphor theory to help readers improve their ability to appreciate news.
