| 要約: | This thesis studied linguistic features of news items on bird flu in
English electronic newspapers. An analysis was made to find out the news
structure, lexical choices, syntactic features and cohesive devices in NIBF. Its
corpus consisted of 100 news items withdrawn from 8 well-known English
electronic newspapers in the USA and the UK. Together with the analysis, a
discussion and comments on each feature have been made. The process of the
study takes readers from the concept of text, the structure of news and the
theory of cohesion and coherence to the conclusion and implications at the
end of the thesis. Firstly, the data was described in details in terms of news
structure and typical discourse features of NIBF. Then, the analytic method
was used to clarify and categorize the data. Besides, the frequency occurrence
was applied to withdraw the conclusion on the findings of the research. By
these ways, lexical choices were studied on lexical items relating to bird flu
(BL) and the extensive use of abbreviations in terms of compounding and
acronyms. The syntactic features were illuminated through sentence patterns,
the use of passive voice and reported speech. And at last, the cohesive devices
relying on the references, ellipsis, conjunctions and lexical cohesion were
taken into consideration. From the study of these features, the thesis provided
some suggestions for teachers and learners of English, especially for
journalism. |
