摘要

本研究分析了语气词在报纸社论中作为立场标记的使用。该研究由500篇发表在巴基斯坦英文报纸上的社论组成，即《每日黎明报》和《每日新闻》（每份报纸250篇社论），这些社论在AntConc 3.4.4.0的帮助下进行了分析。结果表明，巴基斯坦社论作者使用了所有类型的语气词（即预测、可能性、必要性、语气副词、报告动词、知识动词和一般短语）。社论作者在评论、报道或告知事态时使用这些语气来表明个人立场。在这些模式中，预测标记的使用最为频繁，这表明预测是上述报纸社论的一个特征和功能。研究结果还表明，两份报纸社论中语气副词的使用存在差异。此外，研究结果表明，与《每日新闻》的社论作者相比，《每日黎明》的社论作家较少使用预测标记。这项研究让人们意识到社论作者的立场，以及它可能如何影响读者的意见。

Use of Modals as Stance Markers: A Corpus-Based Study on Pakistani English Newspaper Editorials

This study analyses the use of modals as stance markers in newspaper editorials. Corpora of the study comprised of 500 editorials published in Pakistani English newspapers, that is, The Daily Dawn and The Daily News (250 editorials from each newspaper) which were analysed with the help of AntConc 3.4.4.0. Results show Pakistani editorial writers use all types of modals (i.e., prediction, possibility, necessity, modal adverbs, reporting verbs, knowledge verbs and generic phrases). The editorial writers use these modals to mark personal stance while commenting, reporting or informing about the state of affairs. Among these modals the use of prediction markers is the most frequent which indicates that prediction is a characteristic feature as well as function in the said newspaper editorials. Results also reveal that there is a difference in the use of modal adverbs in the editorials of both newspapers. In addition, the results reveal that the editorial writers of The Daily Dawn make less use of prediction markers as compared to the editorial writers of The Daily News. The study creates awareness of the stance of editorial writers’ and how it might affect readers’ opinions.

期刊介绍： Asia Pacific Media Educator is an international refereed journal published twice a year by SAGE Publications (New Delhi) in collaboration with the School of the Arts, English and Media, Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong in Australia. The journal follows international norms and procedures of blind peer reviewing by scholars representing a wide range of multi-disciplinary areas. APME focuses on generating discussions and dialogues among media educators, researchers and journalists. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer review. APME also carries a Q&A section with book authors. APME takes conventional book reviews to a more creative level where reviewers directly engage with authors to understand the process that authors take in researching and writing the book, clarify their assumptions and pose critical questions.
