Abstract: Studying the reports on the “two roads”spirit in Xinhua Daily Telegraph from 2021 to 2023, this paper employs the transitivity system in systemic functional linguistics to analyze the social image of the “two roads” spirit constructed in the news. Relational processes in the news reveal the nature of the “two roads” spirit; typical “two roads” characters are portrayed through material processes and behavioral processes combined to illustrate the manifestation of the “two roads” spirit, and circumstances are used to present its farreaching influence in Xizang. The news reports achieve process intensification through metaphors of transitivity and enhance their readability while verbal processes combined with relational processes can make the news read less homiletic.

Key words: transitivity; “two roads” spirit; social image construction; news discourse

摘要: 以《新华每日电讯》2021—2023年间有关“两路”精神的相关报道为语料,通过功能语言学及物性系统理论分析新闻所构建的“两路”精神社会形象。新闻借助关系过程揭示“两路”精神的各类属性;通过物质过程和行为过程的相互补充塑造“两路”典型人物,说明“两路”精神的体现形式;使用环境成分表明“两路”精神对西藏地区的深远影响。新闻通过及物性隐喻来实现过程强化,增强可读性,利用言语过程结合关系过程来降低说教性。
