  本研究通过分析中国环球电视网（CGTN）对中美贸易争端的新闻报道，探讨其态度表达形式的符号化过程。采用语料库辅助分析方法，重点探讨情感、判断与鉴赏等态度意义在语义韵、社会参与者关系以及在评价偏好上的表征特征。研究结果表明，CGTN在新闻议程、社会参与者和语义韵的选择中，赋予群体评价者角色，通过道德框架突出其态度评价的理性基础。贸易争端报道的态度表达模式为系统分析中国国家媒体身份提供了有力依据。

  This research explores the relationship between journalistic attitudes and the state identity of China Global Television Network. It undertakes a corpus-assisted study of the linguistic representation of Affect, Judgment, and Appreciation in CGTN’s trade dispute coverage at two levels: (1) prosody and social actors; (2) the preference for appraisal relations. It shows that CGTN manifests its state identity in attitudinal officialization and harmonization. Highlighting collectiveness in the choice of news agendas, actors, and prosody, CGTN prioritizes the appraiser’s role of the group mind in propagating journalistic attitudes and is more inclined to draw on Judgment to stress its moral basis. A survey of the ritual of journalistic attitudes in CGTN’s trade dispute reporting makes it possible to analyze the state identity of Chinese state media.
