Discourse Representation of China’s Targeted Poverty Alleviation in African Media from the Perspective of Appraisal Theory
-
摘要: 文章以评价理论为具体的分析框架,通过对非洲主流媒体对中国精准扶贫实践的话语呈现,发现非洲媒体对中国精准扶贫整体上持积极态度。三种态度资源中,判断类态度资源最多,鉴赏类次之,情感类最少。在情感类态度资源中,安全/非安全类情感表达最多;在判断类态度资源中,社会判断类远超于社会约束类;在鉴赏类态度资源中,价值类远超过反应和构成两类。在评价主体方面,非洲媒体较多情况下是直接表达自己的看法和态度,但同时也注重引入来自中国政府、中国人民、专家学者、其他国家的观点作为支撑和补充。在评价的具体对象方面,对中国政府的评价最多,其次是对扶贫举措、扶贫成就、中国共产党的评价。此外,非洲媒体在新闻报道中表现出对中国共产党、中国政府和中国人民脱贫攻坚精神和能力的肯定,以及对精准扶贫工作模式社会价值和成就的认可。Abstract: Under the framework of appraisal theory, this study specifically examines discourse representation of China’s practice of targeted poverty alleviation in African mainstream media. It is found in this research that African media have an overall positive attitude toward China’s targeted poverty alleviation. Among the three types of attitude resources, judgment resources are mostly used, followed by appreciation attitudinal resources and affect resources. As for the affect resources, security/insecurity resources are the most numerous, and for judgment resources, social esteem resources far exceed social sanction resources. Among appreciation resources, valuation resources far exceed both reaction and composition. In terms of the appraiser, African media mainly express their own views and attitudes directly, but also borrow views from the Chinese government, the Chinese people, foreign experts and scholars, and other countries to support and supplement the point of view. As for the appraised, the Chinese government is the mostly appraised, followed by the evaluation of poverty alleviation measures, poverty alleviation achievements, and the Communist Party of China. In addition, the discourse of African media indicates a kind of appreciation and agreement of the spirit and ability of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese government and the Chinese people in fighting poverty, and a kind of recognition of the social value and achievements of the targeted poverty alleviation in their news reports.
