One of the locutionary cohesive devices in journalistic discourses is the redundant employment of repetition, which refers to the successive appearance of several words closed related to each other in semantics, resuhantly connecting every section of the discourse. The cohesive functions of the repetitive words can be explored both structurally and non- structurally. Structural repetitive words can guarantee the extension of the theme while non-structural repetitive words can serve as the topics of the discourse and make coherence possible. The cohesive types, quantity, frequency and scopes of repetitive words vary with media of different types.%新闻语篇的言内衔接手段之一是采用结构羡余手段——重复词语。即利用语义上具有密切联系的多个词语,在上下文中相继出现,将语篇的各个组成部分衔接起来的方法。重复词语的语篇衔接功能分为结构功能和非结构功能。前者保证了语篇话题的延续性,后者充当话语话题,统摄或辅佐形式上类同或意义上相关的结构话题,使之连贯延续。不同媒介的新闻语篇中,重复词语的衔接功能类别,其使用的数量和频率,以及衔接辖区的范围,均有所不同。
