随着科技进步和数字化的发展,多模态交际成为人们生活的常态。其中,纪录片以其客观、生动的叙述方式赢得了观众的喜爱。新冠疫情期间,家国情怀成为占据各大媒体的热词,而众多抗疫题材的纪录片正是对家国情怀最集中的诠释。研究以《同心战“疫”》为例,采用定量和定性相结合的方法对纪录片中所体现的家国情怀进行了多模态话语分析。研究发现,在符号资源的使用方面,影片中家国情怀的建构主要以解说词和场景为主导性符号资源,而字体和图像类符号资源的使用频率较低;不同类型的多模态协同关系发挥着或直接或间接的建构作用。研究一方面拓展了动态话语的多模态研究维度;另一方面展现了中国人民面对重大公共卫生事件时的责任感和使命感,有利于社会的良性发展。

With the advancement of science and technology and the development of digitalization, multimodal communication has become the norm in people's daily life. Among these modalities, documentaries have gained the popularity of the audiences with their objective and vivid narrative style. During the Covid-19 pandemic, “Country and Home Sentiment” has once again become a buzzword dominating major media outlets and many documentaries on anti-epidemic themes are the epitome of this sentiment. Taking Together Against COVID-19 as an example, this article employs a combined methodology of quantitative and qualitative research to conduct a multimodal discourse analysis of the “Country and Home Sentiment” portrayed within the documentary. The study reveals that, in terms of symbolic resources utilization, the construction of “Country and Home Sentiment” in the film mainly relies on verbal narration and visual scenes, while the frequency of font and graphic symbols remains relatively low. Different types of multimodal synergies play direct or indirect roles in the construction process. This study, on the one hand, expands the dimensions of multimodal analysis within dynamic discourse; on the other hand, it showcases the Chinese people's sense of responsibility and mission in the face of significant public health events, which is conducive to the healthy social development.
