普利策新闻奖的嘉奖辞发挥着多重社会功能：提名委员会用提名辞来筛选出少数入围者；普利策奖委员会用颁奖辞来合法化所生产的奖项；颁奖辞有助于新闻从业者形成自己的“诠释社群”；在颁奖礼上被当众宣读的颁奖辞发挥着仪式性的功能；嘉奖辞也是一扇展示奖项形象的窗户。尽管普利策新闻奖颁奖辞短小而简单，但其话语实践却颇为复杂：大多数颁奖辞是创造性而非机械性的，是意见型而非事实型的；共同奖的颁奖辞有两种不同的话语策略；在某件作品或某位参评者是否体现了新闻传统方面，提名委员会和普利策奖委员会之间存在巨大的认知差距。%This article focuses on the citation of the Pulitzer Prize in journalism,the awarding citation in particular.Its citation exercises multiple social functions,the juries use short-listing citation to select a few finalists,the Pulitzer Prize Board utilizes awarding citation to legitimate the award produced by it,the awarding citation helps journalists form their interpretive communities ,the awarding citation read in public at the award presentation ceremony exerts a ritual function,and the citation also serves as a window for the award image. Although the awarding citation of the Pulitzer Prize in journalism is very short and simple,its discursive practice is quite complex,most of the awarding citations are not mechanical but creative and most of them are not fact but opinion-typical,the joint awards have two different discursive strategies,and there is a huge cognitive gap between the jury and the Board as to whether an entry or an entrant embodies journalistic tradition.
