摘要

虽然美国及其盟国的恐怖话语一直是以往大多数研究的焦点,但本文研究的是在中国语境下产生的话语。本文采用系统功能语言学评价框架下的态度体系对《中国日报》和《人民日报》的247篇新闻文章进行了分析。研究结果揭示了极性、态度类型和被评估的社会行为者之间的相关性。两个“他们”群体,新疆的恐怖分子和西方媒体和政府,在他们的行为和对他们的事物的负面评价方面,被压倒性地评价为消极得体。两个美国群体,中国及其人民和支持中国的非西方国家,倾向于通过对他们的事物,他们的积极能力,以及积极和消极的感受(影响)的积极评价来评价他们。西方与恐怖主义被归为一类,这与西方媒体的言论截然相反。“他们”和“我们”的态度建构不仅反映了消极的他者呈现和积极的自我呈现的思想方阵,也反映了中国反恐战争背后维护国内稳定和国际关系的动机。

Fighting terrorism, fighting the West: Them versus Us appraisal in Chinese media’s discursive war on terror
Abstract While discourses on terror by the United States and its allies have been the focus of most previous studies, this article investigates discourses produced in the Chinese context. 247 news articles from China Daily and People’s Daily were analyzed according to a revised system of attitude within the appraisal framework in systemic functional linguistics (SFL). The findings reveal a correlation between polarity, types of attitude, and social actors being evaluated. Two Them groups, terrorism/terrorists in Xinjiang and Western media and governments, are overwhelmingly evaluated in terms of negative propriety of their behaviors and negative valuation of their things. Two Us groups, China and its people and non-Western countries supporting China, tend to be evaluated through positive valuation of their things, their positive capability, and positive and negative feelings (affect). The West is put in the same category as terrorism, quite contrary to what is commonly seen in the discourses produced by Western media. The attitudinal construction of Them and Us reflects not only the ideological square of negative other-presentation and positive self-presentation, but also the motivations of maintaining domestic stability and proper international relations behind China’s war on terror.

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.
