Abstract

The paper is devoted to an analysis of English media discourse in terms of marking epistemic responsibility (ER). The study suggests 10 types of syntactic and lexical means used to mark a speaker’s responsibility for the proposition reliability. They are classified according to: (i) ER domain: high, low, disclaiming ER; (ii) level of the language system: syntactic or lexical; and (iii) lexico-grammatical features. The high ER domain is represented by two marker types: main clause and adverbials; low ER is marked by means of three types of markers: main clause, adverbials and modal verbs; disclaiming ER markers are most numerous, comprising five types of syntactic and lexical means, such as main clause, direct speech, adverbials, verbs and nouns. Thus, there tends to be a higher incidence of marking low ER or disclaiming it in English media discourse, whereas high ER is marked less often.

英语媒介语篇中的标记认知责任
本文从认知责任标记的角度对英语媒体语篇进行分析。该研究提出了10种类型的句法和词汇手段来标记说话人对命题可靠性的责任。它们根据:(i)ER域:高、低、免责ER;(ii)语言系统的层次:句法或词汇;(三)词典语法特征。高ER域由两种标记类型表示:主句和状语;低ER通过三种类型的标记进行标记:主句、状语和情态动词;否定ER标记最多,包括主句、直接引语、状语、动词和名词五种句法和词汇手段。因此,在英语媒体话语中,标记低ER或否认低ER的发生率往往较高,而标记高ER的频率较低。
