摘要：文章以2015 年中国“两会”期间《中国日报》、《纽约时报》、《华盛顿时报》、《卫报》和《经济学人》英文版对中国“两会”的报道为研究对象，首先采用抽样调查法和内容分析法，对新闻报道篇数分布、新闻报道题材进行对比分析。然后，选取上述五家中外主要媒体的有关新闻报道为语料，自建小型目标语料库和参照语料库，利用AntConc语料库检索软件进行对比分析，提取关键词表，得出新闻主题词。文章试图分析中外媒体对中国“两会”报道的共性和差异，以期揭示差异背后隐藏的不同意识形态、国家利益和报道的倾向性。

关键词：“两会”报道；对比分析；语料库；AntConc；意识形态

 

Abstract: Based on Chinese and Western newspapers such as “China Daily”, “New York Times”, “The Washington Post”, “The Guardian”, and “The Economist”, the essay selects English news reports on China’s “Two Sessions” in 2015 as research object. Firstly, methods of sampling survey and content analysis are adopted to compare and analyze the numbers and subject types of the news reports. Secondly, the news reports serve as original data for constructing a small-scale target corpus and a reference corpus in which the retrieval software AntConc is applied to extract a keyword list and further arrive at subject terms of the reports. It attempts to analyze the similarities and differences of reports from both domestic and foreign media, hoping to uncover different ideologies, national interests as well as bias hidden behind.

摘要：灾难新闻不仅能够及时传递信息，帮助政府做出既快又准确的决策，还能安定人心。本文选取三家中国媒体（《人民日报》、《新华每日电讯》、中新社）和三家美国媒体（《纽约时报》、《洛杉矶时报》、美联社）的报道组建四个语料库，运用批判性话语分析理论分析词表、词簇和索引行。研究发现，所有媒体都对灾情以及救援工作高度关注。但中国媒体更强调宣传、更关注客观事实，而美国媒体则重视引导舆论、关注灾民的内心状态。政府机构和官员是六家媒体最主要的社会行为主体。国家利益、媒介性质、报道理念和新闻价值观是引起两国媒体差异的主要原因。

Abstract: The increasing number of disasters in the last few decades have drawn people's attention to the reporting of them in that disaster news could not only deliver instant information, but also help the government make quick and precise decisions and comfort people’s feelings. News reports from three Chinese media (People's Daily, Xinhua Daily Telegraph and China News Service) and three English media (The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and AP) are collected to build four corpora. Then Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is also applied to analyze wordlists, clusters and concordance. This research finds that all media pay great attention to the aftermath and relief work. However, Chinese media emphasize propaganda and facts, while American media focus on shaping public opinions and attach more to people’s feelings. Government agencies and agents are most frequently mentioned by the six media. National interests, character of media and their reporting concepts as well as criteria set for news values are four major reasons for their differences.

Key Words: disaster news; CDA; corpus; concordance; cluster
