概念整合理论视角下英语新闻标题的认知研究

摘要

标题作为新闻报道的“眼睛”，在新闻中有着举足轻重的地位，因为它是读者在尽可能短的时间里获得尽可能多的信息的语言媒介。为使其更加精炼、生动、引人注目，学者们从传统语言学、翻译学、修辞学等层面对新闻标题进行了大量的描述和分析，但对于标题中所包含的认知机制的研究却未进行深入的探讨。
　　本论文试图运用认知语言学中的概念整合理论，分析英语新闻标题中的认知机制，从而为读者理解英语新闻标题及新闻工作者创作标题提供新的途径。作者收集了《泰晤士报》和《华盛顿邮报》两份报纸共七百条英语新闻标题，应用理论分析和定量研究的方法，对其进行统计和描述。通过分析，得出结论:在英语新闻报道的标题中存在跨空间映射，在标题理解过程中，读者能够按照概念整合网络各自的运作机制，对标题进行深入的分析，揭示出其中的认知过程。同时，该理论框架可以从全新的角度解释英语新闻标题中的认知机制。本研究能够为读者深度理解英语新闻内容以及标题创作实践提供参考，并且对该领域今后的进一步深入研究有着重要的借鉴意义。
