英汉社论话语权力的建构：从语篇的态度资源看起

以系统功能语言学评价理论为基础，从态度资源视角，对比分析了《纽约时报》和《人民日报》两篇社论话语权力的语篇建构策略。态度资源在两篇社论中的使用频率按高低均为裁决、鉴赏和情感。但在情感、鉴赏和裁决的子系统内部以及评价对象上，两篇社论存在区别。总体来说，英汉社论在表达态度立场、建构社会群体时均为显性与隐性相结合，但英语社论比汉语社论较间接、隐蔽。这是由于中美两国社会文化以及汉英语言的差异引起。

On Discursive Construction of Editorials. A Perspective Power in Chinese and English from Attitude Resources

Based on the Appraisal Theory in Systemic Functional Linguistics(SFL),from the perspective of attitude resources,this paper compares the discursive strategies in achieving the power of discourse in the two editorials published by People’s Daily and New York Times.In terms of the utilization frequency,the attitude resources used in the two editorials are similar,i.e.judgment,appreciation and affect.However,between the two editorials,there are large differences in their utilization of judgment,appreciation and affect resources as well as in the identities of the appraised.Generally,both of the two editorials adopt implicit and explicit evaluation to clarify attitudes and develop social groups,but the attitude of the English editorial is more indirect and implicit than the Chinese one.This is the result of the different social and cultural background of the two newspapers and the different languages used in the two countries.
