【摘要】：本文在认知语言学框架下,运用识解理论(Cognitive Construal)对英语新闻标题进行研究。英语新闻标题作为人们了解世界的窗口,其研究在新闻学领域和语言学领域都取得了不少成就,但是鲜有文献从认知角度研究新闻标题的分布规律及其认知理据。认知语言学认为,语言能力依附于一般认知能力,语言结构反映出语言使用者的概念结构。认知识解是认知语言学的核心概念,对于语言和思维的关系具有解释力。基于此,本文拟在认知语言学的框架下,运用认知识解理论对英语新闻标题进行研究,主要探讨两个问题:(1)英语新闻标题具有怎样的分布规律?(2)这种分布规律的认知理据是什么?本文采用定性、定量以及对比研究相结合的研究方法。语料来源于《华盛顿邮报》、《美国有线电视新闻网》、《泰晤士报》、《独立报》以及《中国日报》这五份网络报纸对于2015年中国国内五大事件报道的新闻标题。研究发现:(1)不同报纸对于同一新闻事件的报道在详略度(specificity)、焦点化(focusing)、突显(prominence)和视角(perspective)四个方面存在差异。在详略度方面,《独立报》所使用的标题最详细,而《美国有线电视新闻网》和《中国日报》最为简略;在焦点化方面,除了《中国日报》,其他四份报纸关注都是新闻事件的负面因素;在突显方面,不同报纸通过使他们所关注的部分做主语来强调新闻标题的不同方面;在视角方面,各份报纸倾向于将视点放在该新闻事件中与自身利益最具联系性的部分;(2)新闻报纸对于事件不同的识解能力、不同的关注点、不同的态度、不同的目标读者和价值取向导致标题的差异性。本研究的价值主要体现在以下两个方面。第一,对于英语新闻标题的分布规律及其认知理据的研究,可以加深人们对这种特殊文体的认识;第二,从认知识解角度研究英语新闻标题不但拓宽了新闻标题的研究视野,也有望丰富认知识解的应用范围。
[Abstract]:Under the framework of cognitive linguistics, this paper uses Cognitive ConstrualTheory to study English news headlines, which serve as a window for people to understand the world. Many achievements have been made in the field of journalism and linguistics, but few literatures have studied the distribution of news headlines and their cognitive motivations from the perspective of cognition. Language competence is dependent on general cognitive competence, and language structure reflects the conceptual structure of language users. Knowledge solution is the core concept of cognitive linguistics, which has the power to explain the relationship between language and thinking. Under the framework of cognitive linguistics, this paper studies the English news headlines by using the cognitive knowledge solution theory, and mainly discusses the distribution of English news headlines on two issues: 1). What are the cognitive motivations for this distribution? This paper uses qualitative, quantitative and comparative research methods. The corpus is from the Washington Post, CNN, the Times. The headlines of the five online newspapers on the five major events in China in 2015, the Independent and the China Daily. Different newspapers report on the same news event in detail. There are differences in four aspects: focus, prominence and perspective. The headlines used by the Independent were the most detailed, while CNN and China Daily were the simplest; In the aspect of focus, except "China Daily", the other four newspapers are concerned about the negative factors of news events; In the aspect of prominence, different newspapers emphasize different aspects of news headlines by making their concerned parts as subjects; In the angle of view, the newspapers tend to focus on the most relevant part of the news event with their own interests; (2) the newspapers have different abilities to understand events, different concerns, and different attitudes. Different target readers and value orientations lead to the difference of headlines. The value of this study is mainly reflected in the following two aspects. First, the study on the distribution of English news headlines and their cognitive motivation. It can deepen people's understanding of this special style; Secondly, the study of English news headlines from the perspective of cognitive understanding not only broadens the research horizon of news headlines, but also is expected to enrich the application of cognitive solutions.
