在未來(lái)世界中,信息就是力量,獲得信息和傳播信息都將成為衡量一個(gè)國家和民族在世界上的地位和影響的重要標志。大眾媒體成為我們獲得信息和傳播信息的最佳載體,它包括報紙、雜志、廣播、電視等新聞媒介。在如今的IT時(shí)代,隨著(zhù)信息量的日益增加,不同國籍、不同文化之間的交流日益增多,新聞?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)在人們的交流中扮演著(zhù)越來(lái)越重要的角色。 語(yǔ)言的學(xué)習主要是一個(gè)實(shí)踐的過(guò)程。對于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習者來(lái)說(shuō),閱讀英文報刊能學(xué)習最新的英語(yǔ)、了解變化的世界。通過(guò)閱讀英文報刊,人們不僅能擴大詞匯量,增強語(yǔ)感,領(lǐng)會(huì )詞匯的內涵,而且它是學(xué)習和掌握現代英語(yǔ)的最重要、最簡(jiǎn)潔、最有效的途徑之一。同時(shí),人們還能通過(guò)閱讀英語(yǔ)報刊了解英美社會(huì )和世界的現狀,了解當今世界在政治、經(jīng)濟、軍事、科學(xué)、文化以及社會(huì )生活的各個(gè)方面的新事物和新動(dòng)態(tài)。 報刊英語(yǔ)具有自己鮮明的特點(diǎn),它在用詞造句、文章類(lèi)型、文章結構、寫(xiě)作特點(diǎn)、詞匯和語(yǔ)法等方面都有別于普通英語(yǔ)。在英語(yǔ)新聞報刊中,新聞?dòng)浾邆兘?jīng)常使用一些習語(yǔ)、俚語(yǔ)、典故和新造詞,這些最新用語(yǔ)使得學(xué)習者們迷惑不解,不得要領(lǐng)。如果學(xué)習者們沒(méi)有基本的新聞常識,也沒(méi)有掌握一定的新聞?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)的基本文體特征,就很難完全理解報刊英語(yǔ)。因此,本文希望通過(guò)對新聞?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)文體特點(diǎn)的研究讓英語(yǔ)學(xué)習者們對報刊英語(yǔ)有一個(gè)系統的了解,這樣有助于他們有針對性的進(jìn)行更加有效的學(xué)習和訓練,從而進(jìn)一步提高語(yǔ)言水平。 本文共分為六章。第一章主要介紹了有關(guān)新聞?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)的背景、國內外專(zhuān)家、學(xué)者的研究現狀及本文的研究方法。第二章是理論背景。介紹了文體學(xué)的定義、文體學(xué)的研究對象、文體學(xué)的分析方法和文體學(xué)研究的發(fā)展過(guò)程及現狀。本章的重點(diǎn)放在了介紹文體學(xué)的三種分析方法:語(yǔ)音、筆體學(xué)方法、詞匯和語(yǔ)法方法和語(yǔ)義學(xué)方法。第三章和第四章討論了一些新聞的基本常識。在第三章中介紹了新聞的定義、新聞的價(jià)值、新聞的分類(lèi)、什么是新聞?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)和英文報刊的發(fā)展過(guò)程。第四章討論了新聞的結構,從新聞的標題、導語(yǔ)和主體三大部分做了詳細的介紹。第五章是本文研究的重點(diǎn)部分。用文體學(xué)的三種分析方法分別對新聞的標題、導語(yǔ)及主體部分進(jìn)行討論,即標點(diǎn)的使用、詞匯特征、語(yǔ)法特征以及句子結構特征,如:大量使用短小詞、縮略語(yǔ)、新造詞、借代詞和外來(lái)語(yǔ),在句子使用上,采用長(cháng)短交替的方法和大量使用前置修飾語(yǔ)。第六章為結論。
