Wenchuan Earthquake Reported In News Discourse Analysis

News discourse construction will depend text itself, and also rely on certain cultural context. It also involves participants in the cognitive model of discourse. This cognitive model has something with the discourse of individual differences, and also with the social environment behind them.In this paper, I take《People's Daily》as an example, and chose the reports on《People's Daily》as discourse analysis samples, and analysis the framework of Wenchuan earthquake representation on《People's Daily》, then discuss the affect the discourse participants' (ie, news producers and readers) cognitive model of social and historical reasons.This paper sorts the theory of discourse theory, the development process and the views of researchers, like Teun A.Van Dijk.And then do the discourse analysis about the samples of macro-structure, micro-structure, and the samples style and rhetoric of discourse, as well as intertextual. The operation of the reality of discourse by the government's attitude and the right of the public to know, "prototype" awakening, "love" the transmission of culture and other factors.Although《People's Daily》news discourse is in the focus on the disaster itself, there has been a great breakthrough. but the request of the Party's principles, most of the news discourse highlights the function of political propaganda approach, and highlights the significance of enlightenment of disaster information dissemination.《People's Daily》and《Southern Weekend》both involve a direct result of the earthquake and the crisis caused, crisis response and rescue operations, reflecting the public. But both the meaning and coverage build different models. From the balance of public opinion and report on,《People's Daily》should learn from《Southern Weekend》, to improve reporting quality.
