【摘要】 随着科学技术的迅猛发展,人类已全面进入一个信息化的时代,各种各样的信息通过不同的载体,影响着人类的生活、工作和学习。其中,报纸作为获取信息的重要渠道之一,以其经济便捷的方式为人们带来来自各地乃至各国的重要信息。除了提供信息以外,报纸还以报社或作家个人的身份就重要社会问题发表评论,影响读者的认识,从而达到其引领社会舆论的目的。论辩一直以来都是修辞学家用来劝说的重要模式之一。在古希腊时期,亚里士多德就提出了论辩的经典模式—三段论模式,至今仍广泛运用于论辩领域中。而修辞中的论辩模式则被称为恩梯墨码(enthymeme)或修辞式推论。随着新修辞学的发展,论辩研究也在当代得到了复兴,学者们开始从各个角度研究论辩理论,并提出自己的论辩理论或模式。其中,英国哲学家史蒂芬·图尔明提出的论辩模式理论受到了修辞学界的广泛关注,对修辞论辩的研究产生了广泛且深远的影响。史蒂芬·图尔明的论辩模式涉及六个相互联系的成分,前三个也是最重要的基本成分包括：主张、事实和论据；后三个成分——支持、论证和限定——用来修饰前三个基本要素。这一论辩结构模式使我们能够清楚地观察到论辩的结构。通过呈现这一论辩结构,我们可以更好地理解论辩结构式如何成功地引导受众接受作者的观点和想法。本文将新闻语篇中的次语体社论与史蒂芬·图尔明的论辩理论结合起来,研究社论这种强评论性文章中论辩的使用及产生的效果。通过解读社论语篇中的论辩模式及运用的相关论辩手段,向读者清晰地展示了新闻语篇的论辩过程,从而更加理智地判断其观点的合理性,更有效的获取对自身有价值的信息。本文尝试从论辩结构模式角度来分析社论,为新闻语篇及其次语体的研究提供了一种新的角度,有助于丰富对新闻语篇及其各种次语体的研究。更多还原

【Abstract】 Along with the development of science and technology, we now entered the information era filled with all kinds of information, which influences people’s life, work and study through different mediums. Among them, newspaper, as one of the most important channel in accessing to information, brings a great deal of important information of different places and countries to us in its economical while convenient way. Besides providing information for us, newspaper also proclaims its own opinions over the current social affairs in the name of the newspaper or the commentator personal to affect people’s recognition and thus reach the aim of leading public opinions.Regarding to the argument, it is one of the important model used by rhetors for the aim of persuasion. During the ancient Greek times, Aristotle, the father of classical rhetoric, put forward the concept of syllogism-the classical form of argument, which is still widely used in persuasion. In Aristotle’s words, syllogism consists of three parts:the major premise, the minor premise, and the conclusion. But in regard to rhetoric, Aristotle maintains that enthymeme (or rhetorical syllogism) is the heart and soul of rhetorical argument, in which one of the three constituents in syllogism is omitted. With the development of rhetoric, argument studies revive in the contemporary times. Scholars of different fields begin their studies on argument theories from different perspectives and put forward their own theories of argument and argument models. Among them, English philosopher Stephen Toulmin proposes his own argument model theory, which gains wide attention from rhetorical field and profoundly influences the argument studies. The argument theory of Stephen Toulmin includes argument model theory and the new terms of argument like qualifier, argument field, field-dependent, and so on. In Toulmin’s argument theory, he develops a new argument system consisting of two triads of elements, showing how evidence and assumptions combined to support the claim. The first triad is the main line of the argument, including data, warrant and claim; the second triad consists of elements that pertain to the force of the argument, including backing, rebuttal, and qualifier. Through such an approach, we can see the structure of the argument clearer and better analyze the structure of the argument, which is helpful for our understanding of argument and its construction in discourses.In this thesis, the writer combines the editorial-a sub-style of news discourse-with Stephen Toulmin’s argument model to study the argument and its functions in this communicative discourse. Through the analysis of argument structure and specific argument ways in editorial, this thesis shows how argument constructed in news discourse clearly and thus clearly presents readers with argument process, which is good for them in making sensible choice of useful information. This thesis tries to analyze news editorials from the angle of argument model with the hope of enriching the studies of news discourse and its sub-styles as well as providing a new perspective for news discourse study.更多还原
