Abstract

This paper is concerned with an exploration of the structural arrangement of Arabic hard news reporting with reference to a corpus of twenty accident news stories drawn from two leading Middle Eastern news organizations, Aljazeera and Alarabiya. A range of journalistic traditions has been examined with respect to organizational structures used in their hard news reporting texts. Within journalism discourse analysis, the nucleus-satellite structure developed by scholars of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is commonly found in news reporting in English and across various languages. However, news media texts in some cultures, such as Arabic, have not undergone any close scrutiny from a generic perspective. Accordingly, this study attempts to fill such a gap by investigating the genre-related features of the Arabic accident reports, drawing on the insights provided by SFL literature on the news story as a genre. It employs various lines of analysis such as textual deconstruction, timeline, radical editability, and lexical chaining. The findings of these analyses suggest that the Arabic accident news reports are non-chronologically organized operating with the lead-dominated orbital model, and thus generically bearing a close resemblance to the English news reports.

阿拉伯事故新闻报道的体裁结构分析
本文主要探讨阿拉伯语硬新闻报道的结构安排,参考了来自两个主要中东新闻机构--半岛电视台和阿拉比亚电视台--的二十篇事故新闻报道的语料库。在硬新闻报道文本中使用的组织结构方面,对一系列新闻传统进行了研究。在新闻话语分析中,系统功能语言学(SFL)学者提出的 "核心-卫星 "结构常见于英语和各种语言的新闻报道中。然而,某些文化(如阿拉伯语)中的新闻媒体文本还没有从通用的角度进行过仔细的研究。因此,本研究试图通过研究阿拉伯语事故报道的体裁相关特征来填补这一空白,同时借鉴 SFL 文献中关于新闻报道这一体裁的见解。本研究采用了多种分析方法,如文本解构、时间轴、激进可编辑性和词汇连锁。这些分析结果表明,阿拉伯语事故新闻报道是非时间顺序组织的,采用主导轨道模式,因此在总体上与英语新闻报道非常相似。

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
