In this paper we specifically aim to investigate the occurrence and frequency of ideational grammatical metaphor(GM) expressions in Chinese new news platforms, and their preference for the types of GM. We have selected 3000 pieces of news headlines (1000 pieces per news platform) with various topics from three Chinese news online platforms to locate the types and subtypes of GM. It is found in this paper that there is an high frequency of the tokens in each platform. Considering that the tokens of GM are high without regard to the kinds of the platforms and headline topics, it may be claimed that GM is universal and diversified in Chinese. Among all the types of transformations, Adjectivization is highest in the frequency of use, which is followed by Nominalization. Adjectivization is likely to occur in nearly all styles, Nominalization in more formal styles, and Verbalization in more casual styles. It is also shown that actual tokens of GM are highest in more formal and integrated platform with some sentence complexity such as Peoples’ Daily Online(PDO). From the aspect of the headline topics, actual tokens are highest in the news headlines on politics. Hence it may be concluded that ideational GM concept can be applied equally to news headlines of Chinese online news platforms with some variations depending on the kinds of platforms and headline topics. It is also claimed that the tokens and types of GMs in new mass media flatforms are higher than those in traditional ones, and the new mass media flatforms show the features of diversity, flexibility, and compatibility due to the wide use of GMs. We hope that this study will make modest contributions for those who want to look into a further exploration of the grammatical metaphor in Chinese.
Abstract
In this paper we specifically aim to investigate the occurrence and frequency of ideational grammatical metaphor(GM) expressions in Chinese new news platforms, and their preference for the types of GM. We have selected 3000 pieces of news headlines (1000 pieces per news platform) with various topics from three Chinese news online platforms to locate the types and subtypes of GM. It is found in this paper that there is an high frequency of the tokens in each platform. Considering that the tokens of GM are high without regard to the kinds of the platforms and headline topics, it may be claimed that GM is universal and diversified in Chinese. Among all the types of transformations, Adjectivization is highest in the frequency of use, which is followed by Nominalization. Adjectivization is likely to occur in nearly all styles, Nominalization in more formal styles, and Verbalization in more casual styles. It is also shown that actual tokens of GM are highest in more formal and integrated platform with some sentence complexity such as Peoples’ Daily Online(PDO). From the aspect of the headline topics, actual tokens are highest in the news headlines on politics. Hence it may be concluded that ideational GM concept can be applied equally to news headlines of Chinese online news platforms with some variations depending on the kinds of platforms and headline topics. It is also claimed that the tokens and types of GMs in new mass media flatforms are higher than those in traditional ones, and the new mass media flatforms show the features of diversity, flexibility, and compatibility due to the wide use of GMs. We hope that this study will make modest contributions for those who want to look into a further exploration of the grammatical metaphor in Chinese.
