Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Research Background

News coverage is the most popular and persuasive way for the public to obtain information. The news media are not only information transmitters, but also reviewers. The news released by them affects the public’s cognition of things through discourse expression. In recent years, the news media have been reporting on the new farmer group. With the continuous expansion of the “new farmer” team, it can be seen that the news media have played an important role in the publicity of this group and virtually constructed the identities of the new farmer group. As an important part of the discourse system with Chinese characteristics, media discourse not only affects the cognition of the domestic public, but also affects the cognition of the foreign audience about the current situation in China. However, foreign reports on China are mostly based on the United States and other western countries, and rarely study the effect of China’s international communication from the actual situation in China (Si Xianzhu, 2021). The international communication discourse with Chinese characteristics should not only spread China’s international image in the macro, but also pay attention to the benign interaction between the state and citizens, and shape the national image in multiple dimensions (Jing Xuemin & Li Yanbing, 2010).Therefore, analyzing the identity construction of the new farmers by the news media will help China take the initiative to master the international right of speech, refine the new concept and expression of “farmers”, and improve the Chinese image. Besides, it can also help China’s “new farmer” image go to the world, spread the “Chinese story” and “Chinese dream”, and enable the public at home and abroad to understand China’s image in a three-dimensional way. 

1.2 Purpose of the Study

This thesis has three research aims. Firstly, this thesis explores the feasibility of combining conceptual metaphor, framing theory and identity construction theory in terms of the theoretical perspective. Many scholars in the field of linguistics are aware of the importance of media discourse on the construction of collective identity, but the studies of the construction of collective identity by the media have mainly focused on the discursive strategies of the media (Zhao Xiufeng & Song Bingbing, 2021). Language is a dynamic form of social practice that constructs social identity, social relations and people’s understanding of the world (Xiang Yunhua, 2009: 189), therefore, this thesis combines Lakoff’s conceptual metaphor theory with framing theory to form the metaphorical framing theory and incorporate identity construction theory into it to explore the feasibility of metaphorical framing theory in the construction of collective identity.

Secondly, new farmers are the representatives of agricultural development in the new era and China central media have made a lot of reports on them to promote the dissemination of their images. Hence, the second aim of this thesis is to investigate how the central media construct the identities of the new farmers through metaphorical frames and 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
