Research on the Construction of Chinas Image from the Perspective of Transitivity -- A Case Study of the Hangzhou Asian Games Coverage in Global Times
Abstract
From the perspective of transitivity, this paper explores the latest editorial Hangzhou hard to say goodbye; its a new starting point:
Global Times editorial published by the English version of Chinas mainstream media Global Times after the Hangzhou Asian Games. With
the assistance of the corpus annotation tool UAM Corpus Tool 6.2, we counted the distribution of transitivity processes and participants in
the corpus, and the results show that material, relational and mental processes appear more frequently, which helps to construct the image of
China as a green, technologically advanced, civilized, open and inclusive country, and demonstrates Chinas maturity and self-confidence in
hosting international events.
