Participant Role Allocation and Ecological Ideology Construal in Nature Documentary Film
-
摘要: 在系统功能语法中，参与者是体现概念功能的及物性系统中的一个组成部分，赋予语言建构的现实世界之经验实体。在概念功能中，及物性系统的核心成分是过程，它要求配置特定的参与者角色共同完成经验的识解。文章以BBC Wildlife节目中的一集关于北极熊生态记录片的语音文本为分析对象，以社会行为者分析理论为框架，分别从被动化与主动化、抽象化和具体化、类别化与名物化等方面分析自然生态纪录片的解说词是如何在不同类型的过程小句中对主要的参与者角色进行配置并成功建构保护自然生态和濒危动物的生态意识。Abstract: In SFL,participant roles refer to the subsystem of transitivity that embodies ideational function and constructs the world with process.The core component of transitivity system is the process,which requires the allocation of specific participant roles to complete the construal of meaning.Based on a documentary film of BBC and the social actor representation framework proposed by van Leeuven,this paper aims to explore how the ecological ideology is constructed by analyzing the role allocation strategies from three aspects(activation and passivation, generification and specification,as well as nomination and differentiation).The result shows that there are three features in terms of participant roles allocation in nature documentary films.Firstly,most of the active roles are assigned to non-human beings instead of human being; secondly, the animals in the films are activated by assigning them major participant roles rather than minor ones; lastly,the film producers use collective pronoun to refer to animal roles rather than singular pronoun “it” so as to reduce the anthropocentrism tendency.
