Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: This paper presents a quantitative and qualitative study of the journalistic reports on “One belt, One road” strategy from China Daily and Voice of America in 2015. Micro Corpus of China Daily (MCCD) and Micro Corpus of Voice of America (MCVOA) were built using related news articles from each website. The methodological approach involves both quantitative and software-assisted qualitative content analysis. Based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework and Halliday’s systemic functional grammar, the study analyzes news reports in terms of lexical choice, and keywords related qualitative content analysis to explore the implicit social ideologies, values and stance in the press discourse. The relationship between language and social ideology is identified by analyzing linguistic features. The findings can help us systematically understand how particular events are constructed as newsworthy, what values and stance are cultivated in news stories, and how these investigations enhance our critical language awareness. Keywords: journalistic corpus; Software-assisted qualitative content analysis; one belt, one road; ideology.
