“占领华尔街运动”美中新闻报道的架构对比分析

摘要

政治语篇中的概念隐喻研究一直是认知语言学领域的重要话题之一。随着“架构理论”在认知语言学领域的发展，研究政治语篇中的概念隐喻越来越离不开其背后架构与道德模式的探讨。认知科学的一个基本发现是，架构与概念隐喻相辅相成。话语中的词语激活架构，概念隐喻是从一个架构到另一架构的映射。媒体关于政治事件的新闻报道往往含有丰富的隐喻表达，是政党用以概念化政治问题及向读者传递其道德价值观的重要手段。 本文即以“架构理论”和“概念隐喻理论”为理论框架，对美中“占领华尔街运动”新闻报道的架构逻辑进行初步的认知语言学分析。本文所用语料为美中权威电子报刊对该事件的报道，其中美方语料选自《华盛顿时报》和《纽约时报》的有关报道各10篇，共20篇;中方语料选自《人民日报》和《光明日报》的有关报道各10篇，共20篇。 本文的主要发现如下:首先，美方语料使用的主要架构有自负其责架构、竞争架构、共情架构等，中方语料主要有公平架构、自然架构、疾病架构等;第二，《华盛顿时报》基于“严父模式”来构建“占领华尔街运动”的语篇，而《纽约时报》则是基于“慈亲模式”之上;第三，中方在报道“占领华尔街运动”时蕴含着“慈亲模式”的道德立场，与民主党相似，这主要是受中国“社会主义核心价值观”的影响;第四，美方语料使用的架构均为非隐喻型架构，而中方语料既有非隐喻型架构，也有隐喻型架构，这种差异主要源于两国核心价值观、根本利益和文化传统等方面的差异。总之，对比分析表明，不同类型的架构会反映并强化美中两国各自隐含的道德价值观。该研究有利于读者更科学地理解美中两国媒体在报道“占领华尔街运动”时所持的道德立场和架构逻辑。
