Abstract:

Corpus-based discourse analysts are becoming increasingly interested in the
incorporation of non-linguistic data, for example through corpus-assisted
multimodal discourse analysis. This Element applies this new approach in
relation to how news values are discursively constructed through language and
photographs. Using case studies of news from China and Australia, the Element
presents a cross-linguistic comparison of news values in national day
reporting. Discursive news values analysis (DNVA) has so far been mainly
applied to English-language data. This Element offers a new investigation of
Chinese DNVA and provides momentum to scholars around the world who are
already adopting DNVA to their local contexts. With its focus on national days
across two very different cultures, the Element also contributes to research
on national identity and cross-linguistic corpus linguistics.
   
1. Corpus-assisted multimodal discourse analysis and the newsworthiness of
national day reporting; 2. China National Day: copied and commercialised; 3.
Australia Day: a conflicted day of 'celebration'; 4. Conclusion.
