摘　　要：近年来,可供性成为理解和分析数字新闻生态的重要概念工具。借助概念史研究的思路,本文对可供性概念在数字新闻研究中的应用进行了回顾性综述。基于对可供性相关中英文论文的细读,本文首先辨析了可供性作为属性/本体论和关系/认识论的双重内涵;接着辨析了可供性在研究中的两种不同角色:作为“指示器”,可供性的技术载体折射出近年来数字技术的演进路径;作为“助推器”,可供性这一不同维度的研究工具——理论、视角、变量——被应用于数字新闻研究中,并在一定程度上指向不同的研究方法。本文认为,未来数字新闻学的可供性研究可以通过加强与经典传播学理论的对话以推进其理论建构。In recent years, affordance has become an important conceptual tool for understanding and analyzing digital news ecology. From the perspective of conceptual history studies, this article provides a retrospective review of the application of the concept of affordance in digital journalism. This article first analyzes the dual connotations of affordance as attribute/ontology and relation/epistemology and distinguishes two roles of affordance in digital journalism studies:(1) as an indicator, the subject of affordance reflects the development of digital technology in recent years;(2) as a promoter,affordance is utilized as a multi-dimension research tool, from theoretical, perspective to variable dimensions, in digital news studies, and as a variable, leading to different research approaches and methods to some extent. Future affordance research in digital journalism can strengthen its theoretical construction by developing dialogue with classical communication theories.
