Song-song CHEN

Abstract


Language and society are closely interrelated as every change in the society is reflected in our language. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is an important tool for our understanding of the society. We made a CDA analysis on the announcements Liu made in her prosecution against Li, a famous anchor in China, following a sociological investigation approach proposed by Fairclough in his Language and Power, and cognitive method as a supplement, trying to find out what is buried under the language.
Key words: CDA, social ethics, narrative, ideology, profit-loss scheme

En tant qu’un outil puissant d’analyse, l’analyse critique du discours joue un rôle très important dans la connaissance de la société. Nons effectuons, en employant la méthode d’analyse sociale préconisée par Fairclough et la méthode d’analyse cognitive, l’analyse critique du discours du procès de Liu intenté contre Li. Avec le corpus de quatres déclarations de Liu Yin, nons s’efforçons d’explorer la conscience cachée sous la langue superficielle.
Mots-clés: analyse critique du discours, morale sociale, narration, idéologie sociale, logique de bénéfice et de perte
