摘要

这项研究代表了一个在政治、多模态和认知语言学的十字路口完成的研究项目。作为亲俄的中国官方宣传声音之一的中国媒体《环球时报》英文版在2022年3月至5月报道了俄乌战争。所分析的文章包含政治漫画,因此可以定义为多模态文本。它们共同塑造了一种面向国际读者的叙事或“故事”,旨在塑造有利于俄罗斯的世界观。我们对这一叙事的研究旨在重构它所描绘的心理形象,并揭示语言和视觉模式如何相互作用,将这一形象植入读者的脑海。为了完成这项任务,我们提出了一种认知语言学方法,该方法通过算法应用,可以构建认知本体,从而构建口头和视觉呈现的信息。每个本体论的组成部分都具有事实和情感上的显著性,这取决于经验文本提供的描述的数量。我们展示了本体的重叠如何提高针对受众的关键情感隐含信息的显着性。在这项研究中,单个文本中语言和视觉模式之间的相互作用以强调、阐述、延伸、质疑和组合为特征,这些被认为是“延伸”信息的普遍方式,它们的可追溯性远远超出了Lakoff和Turner(1989)先前确定的隐喻领域。

Ukraine and the West in pro-Russia Chinese media: A methodology for the analysis of multimodal political narratives
This study represents a research project done at the crossroads of political, multimodal and cognitive linguistics. In focus is the Russia-Ukraine war featured in March – May, 2022 by the English edition of the Global Times, a Chinese media outlet, one of the voices of pro-Russia Chinese state propaganda. The analyzed articles contain political cartoons and thus can be defined as multimodal texts. Together, they mold a narrative, or ‘story’ addressed to international readers and intended to shape their worldview beneficial for Russia. Out study of this narrative aims to reconstruct the mental image it portrays and to expose the ways in which the verbal and visual modes interact to implant this image into the readers’ minds. To fulfil this task, we propose a cognitive linguistic methodology which, applied algorithmically, enables building cognitive ontologies that structure information rendered verbally and visually. The constituents of each ontology have factual and emotive salience, dependent of the number of descriptions provided by empirical texts. We demonstrate how an overlap of the ontologies boosts salience of the key emotively connoted message targeted at the audience. In the study, the interplay between verbal and visual modes in individual texts is characterized in terms of accentuation, elaboration, extension, questioning, and combining considered as universal ways of ‘stretching’ information, which are trackable far beyond the metaphoric domain where they were previously identified by Lakoff and Turner (1989).
