摘　　要：[目的/意义]西方智库是观察和研究中国的重要机构,其话语策略广泛影响着国际社会“中国观”和中国形象的传播。本文旨在考察西方智库涉华报告的话语特征,提升中国智库话语的传播力和影响力,增强意识形态话语权和主导权。[方法/过程]本文以系统功能语言学评价理论的介入系统为理论框架,以2018—2022年英国智库海外发展研究院涉华报告为语料,以AntConc 4.1.0为分析工具,探讨其介入资源的文本特征和使用规律。[结果/结论]该智库介入资源的使用整体呈现对话性扩展的特点,对话性压缩逐渐显化。体现在以下三方面:利用扩展和压缩策略介入受众对涉华观点的解读;打开部分协商空间,邀请受众对所给信息给出判断;积极地承认正面信息,排除争议,对部分负面信息进行反转式处理。然而,该智库在阐述中国海外经济活动影响力时仍传播着意识形态偏见。本文可为丰富中国智库的海外发声资源、拓展其人际功能以及构建智库话语体系提供一定参考。[Purpose/Significance]Western think tanks are important institutions for observing and researching China,and their discursive strategies widely influence the shaping of the international community’s view of China and the communication of China’s image.This study aims to examine the discourse characteristics of western think tank reports on China to enhance the dissemination and influence of Chinese think tank discourse,as well as strengthen ideological discourse and leadership.[Method/Process]This paper adopts the engagement system from the Appraisal theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics as the theoretical framework.The corpus for analysis comprises China-related reports from the Overseas Development Institute,a British think tank,spanning the period from 2018 to 2022.The analytical tool AntConc 4.1.0 is employed to investigate the patterns and features of textual resources.[Result/Conclusion]The study finds that the utilization of engagement resources by the think tank showed a trend of long-term increase and a dialogic expansion,while also exhibiting more dialogic contractions.This is specifically reflected in three aspects:strategically utilizing engagement resources to intervene in readers'interpretations of China-related viewpoints;opening up some negotiation space,inviting readers to judge information;acknowledging positive information,excluding controversy,and reversing negative information.However,ideological bias was found in the presentation of China’s overseas economic activities.This study serves as a reference for enriching the overseas voice resources of Chinese think tanks,expanding their interpersonal functions,and constructing a discourse system for think tanks.
