【摘要】 本文运用篇章语言学理论和故事语法理论分别对由中央人民广播电台和全国四十家重点晚报联合推出的“晚报浏览”节目的新闻衔接手段进行研究。衔接与连贯已经成为篇章语言学中的重要组成部分。连贯性是语篇的重要特征之一,连贯性研究是语篇分析的一个重要方面,而衔接有助于连贯的实现。衔接关系表示语篇的语义关系,即一种谋篇意义关系。不同的衔接机制,或在不同的语篇范围内,语篇的衔接关系也不同。本文首先论述了各家各派对衔接与连贯的定义及其关系。接着,本文对“晚报浏览”这一新闻广播语篇中的衔接手段从词汇语法和认知两个层面着手研究。首先,衔接与连贯的研究以语言研究为对象,因此本文以语言学理论为指导,认真分析语篇内部具体的包括照应、替代、省略、连接和词汇衔接的衔接手段。这一研究手段主要是基于文本的,但是这还不够。本文接着从认知角度以故事语法理论为框架分析此新闻广告语篇的衔接手段。因为一条新闻就如同一个故事,有其相对固定的故事成分。故事结构可以帮助读者或听者了解存在于故事中的突出特征。因为故事语法中的某个故事成分在突显程度上相近,所以主持人先重复前一个新闻的这一部分并使它处于激活状态,在此基础上再引入下一故事的一部分,并使两者对接产生衔接。如新闻与新闻之间由某种故事成分诸如故事背景中的故事发生地点加以连接。故事语法理论与图式、框架理论密切相关,是一种自上而下的认知处理模式。以上这两种研究手段相辅相成,呈互补关系,使我们能对本新闻语篇的衔接手段作出更全面地分析。本研究对新闻广播领域的衔接与连贯的研究有一定的理论与现实意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 This research attempts to analyze cohesive devices in news items in Evening- Paper-Review Broadcasting (EPR) jointly organized by the China National Radio (CNR) and the major 40 Evening Papers throughout the nation within the framework of text linguistics and story grammar.Coherence is a major property of text and coherence research has been a significant aspect in text analysis. Admittedly, cohesion definitely contributes to the realization of coherence of a given text. We know cohesion is a semantic relation of textual meaning.Different cohesive devices, in different texts, have different cohesive relations in the text. First, the research has a general theoretical account of the existing studies on cohesion, coherence and their relations. Then a detailed analysis of cohesive devices in EPR broadcasting is done from the linguistic and cognitive perspectives so that we can get a more comprehensive framework of cohesion research. First of all, language is the object of cohesion and coherence studies, therefore, the linguistic features of text and certain linguistic theories must be involved in the present study. But the linguistic theory alone is not enough. The theory of story grammar is further adopted in analyzing this news report because a piece of news is just like a story containing certain relatively fixed components. Usually, one story component in both news stories is more salient that any other components. In this radio program, the newscaster, as a matter of fact, is also a reader who finds it necessary to repeat this salient component in the preceding news and to make it an activated state. Then there comes the same story component of the upcoming news and cohesion is thus created between two pieces of news successfully. This is the very reason why certain story component such as the setting is chosen to become a cohesive device between two successive news. Note that the theory of story grammar is closely related with schemata and frames, which is actually a top-down processing in facilitating our interpretation of a given text. The above two approaches to EPR broadcasting are complementary in analyzing how two pieces of news cohere in EPR broadcasting.更多还原
