摘　　要：表示视觉、听觉等的“感觉动词”(perception verb)是最重要的直接言据表达手段。以往的文体学研究和话语分析表明,各种语言成分、语言的形式或结构在不同的语类中其用法和表意功能往往会有所不同。本文以《纽约时报》和《华盛顿邮报》关于南海争端的报道为语料分析新闻语篇中感觉动词的言据用法与表意功能。本文的分析一方面证明了Viberg (1983)按使用频率提出的感觉动词的重要性顺序,另一方面也发现了新闻报道中言据感觉动词的一些使用特点,表明其言据功能和主客观性会受到语类、议题、词汇搭配和句法结构等各种因素的影响。Perception verbs are the most important means to express direct evidence in discourse. Traditional stylistic studies and discourse analysis have shown that the specific meanings and functions of linguistic elements are ultimately determined by their uses in particular contexts and situations. This paper is an attempt at analyzing the uses of evidential perception verbs in English news discourse. In addition to testifying the importance order of the perception verbs identified by Viberg(1983), the analysis reveals some of the common ways in which perception verbs are employed to provide evidence and to enhance the objectivity and intersubjectivity of news discourse. The results of the analysis also show that the evidential meanings and functions of such verbs are subject to the influence of a variety of factors, including discourse type, collocation, and syntactic structure.
