Abstract

This study examines the use of the ideograph territorial sovereignty by the Times of India (TOI; U.S./New Delhi editions) in its reports on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Using McGee's (1980) notion of ideograph and Entman’s ( 1993) framing theory, it uncovers a discursive strategy used by elite media for swaying public opinion regarding international and domestic information flow when promoting its preferred “Indian” understanding of the BRI. This study reviews historical uses of the ideograph territorial sovereignty to establish an analysis of the TOI's use of it. Then, following framing theory and a synchronic structure, I explore the ideograph in 40 collected TOI reports by contextualizing relationships supporting and surrounding it.

领土主权的意识形态——《印度时报》对中国“一带一路”倡议倡议的解读

本研究考察了《印度时报》（TOI；美国/新德里版）在其关于中国“一带一路”倡议（BRI）的报道中对领土主权的使用。利用McGee（1980）的表意文字概念和Entman（1993）的框架理论，揭示了精英媒体在促进其对“一带一路”倡议的偏好“印度人”理解时，为左右国际和国内信息流的舆论而使用的话语策略。本研究回顾了表意文字领土主权的历史使用，以建立对TOI使用表意文字的分析。然后，遵循框架理论和共时结构，我通过语境化支持和围绕表意文字的关系，在收集的40篇TOI报告中探究表意文字。
