基于Strauss关于观点表述中的文化立场模式,论文对《纽约时报》中国主题的社论进行了话语分析。分析发现,社论以“可辩驳”立场的显性或隐性的话语模式对焦点问题进行陈述,争论并试图说服读者。论文表明,对话语模式的辨析能帮助读者更清晰地洞察社论发出的声音及其实质。
Based on Strauss's model of cultural standing in expression of opinion, the paper conducted an analysis of the New York Times editorials on controversial issues concerning China. The analysis reveals that, in statement of core argument, the editorials employ either overt or covert dialogic modes of debatable standing, with the similar attempt of convincing the readers. The paper shows that the distinction of different dialogic modes may bring a clearer understanding of the real voices uttered by the media.
