摘要
文章运用批评话语分析的语篇—历史分析法,结合语料库方法,选取日本三大主流报刊《读卖新闻》《朝日新闻》和《日本经济新闻》中涉及"一带一路"的报道文本为研究对象,考察了日本主流媒体对该倡议的认知变化。基于自建的日本三大报刊语料库,从主题、中心词和搭配分析角度,结合话语分析的命名策略、辩论策略和视角化策略分析了日本媒体话语。研究发现,日本主流报刊对该倡议历经了"负面解读—理性报道—倡议参与"的认知变化过程。这种变化在于日本主流媒体根据外交局势和经济利益关系调整报道的话语策略,显示了媒体服务于当权政客和意识形态的立场。该研究也证实了语篇—历史分析法在日语媒体语篇中的运用价值,旨在积极推进为国家服务的语言研究。
This paper applies the discourse-historical approach to an investigation into diachronic changes in Japanese mainstream media’s cognization of China’s"Belt and Road"initiative.It built a corpus of Belt-and-RoadInitiative-related reports in Japan’s three major newspapers—Yomiuri Shimbun,Asahi Shimbun and Nihon Keizai Shimbun,and divided them into three stages based on changes in number of texts,frequency of publication and thematic concern.Then it made a textual analysis of the Japanese media discourses,focusing on their subject matters and phraseologies,the strategies of nomination,argumentation and perspectivization peculiar to the methodology of critical discourse analysis.It could be concluded that:(1)Japanese mainstream media’s cognization of the Belt and Road Initiative has undergone the stages of"negative interpretation","rational reportage",and"active participation".When adopted to examine the three Japanese newspapers,the analysis of nomination had helped to reveal that the Japanese media’s discourse construction of the Initiative had transformed from earlier opposition and boycott to recent call for cooperation.The analysis of argumentation suggested that the three newspapers,in earlier times,fulfilled their negative representations of the Initiative by elaborating on the risk it could involve,and later on,in use of a large amount of data,the reports of the Initiative in these three newspapers turned more objective,whereas recently,in addition to their extensive use of data,the three newspapers argued for the Initiative being both useful and beneficial.Besides,the analysis of perspectivization disclosed the fact that in different stages,there were differences in frequency of using quotations and in their selected sources of information.In earlier times,the sources of information were mostly uncertain,and the newspapers expressed their viewpoints of the Initiative in a rather indirect manner,while recently,they were more inclined to employ direct quotations from ascertained sources of information.(2)The discourse-historical analysis of the reasons for changes in major Japanese newspapers’cognization of the Belt and Road Initiative revealed the role of the political and economic backdrop against which reporting texts were produced.In earlier times,the major Japanese media were much concerned that the Belt and Road Initiative might be a tool with which China could fulfill its geopolitical purpose so as to alter the international political and economic order,and as a result,they published negative reports over the Initiative.Recently,with more countries and regions’active participation,and USA’s attitudinal change in its treatment of the Belt and Road Initiative and Japan’s pressing need for the rejuvenation of its national economy,the Japanese media had to recognize and re-elucidate the Initiative.In sum,these changes could be attributed to discourse strategies Japanese mainstream media has been employing in setting the tone of their reports in line with changes in Japan’s diplomatic and economic ties with China,which faithfully manifests the truth that media can work towards but one aim of serving politicians in positions of authority and propagating ideologies they advocate.
