摘要

本研究采用语料库方法进行隐喻分析、立场分析和批评话语分析，分析了中国新闻媒体《环球时报》(GT)和美国《纽约时报》(NYT)在2020年冠状病毒报道中对中英文读者采取的不同立场。数据库包括2020年所有与冠状病毒相关的《环球时报》和《纽约时报》双语评论文章，即《环球时报》97对，《纽约时报》73对，中英文代币可比较。结果显示，《环球时报》和《纽约时报》对疫情及其相关方(即中国和美国)的报道差异具有统计学意义，且效应量中等至强。关联的Lambda检验表明，隐喻迁移方法的知识可以显著提高态度强度预测的正确性，这证实了隐喻迁移是立场中介的表征。

The US-China battle over Coronavirus in the news media: Metaphor transfer as a representation of stance mediation

Drawing upon a corpus approach to metaphor analysis, stance analysis, and Critical Discourse Analysis, the study analyzes different stances taken by the Chinese news outlet Global Times (GT) and the American The New York Times (NYT) in 2020 Coronavirus narratives to Chinese and English readers. The database includes all Coronavirus-related GT and NYT bilingual opinion articles in 2020, that is, 97 pairs from GT and 73 pairs from NYT which are comparable in Chinese and English tokens. Results show that the differences between GT and NYT in narrating the pandemic and the involved parties, that is, China and the US, are statistically significant with a moderate to strong effect size. The Lambda test of association demonstrates that the knowledge of metaphor transfer methods can significantly increase the correctness of attitudinal intensity prediction, which bears out metaphor transfer as a representation of stance mediation.

期刊介绍： Discourse & Society is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal whose major aim is to publish outstanding research at the boundaries of discourse analysis and the social sciences. It focuses on explicit theory formation and analysis of the relationships between the structures of text, talk, language use, verbal interaction or communication, on the one hand, and societal, political or cultural micro- and macrostructures and cognitive social representations, on the other hand. That is, D&S studies society through discourse and discourse through an analysis of its socio-political and cultural functions or implications. Its contributions are based on advanced theory formation and methodologies of several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
