Abstract

The article analyzes the verb representation of information sources in the political media discourse of the Chinese language, dedicated to the implementation of the Chinese foreign policy strategy One Belt, One Road (OBOR). The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the verb representation of information sources in the OBOR Chinese political media discourse. Methods of discourse analysis, componential analysis, structural-semantic, descriptive, interpretive methods, as well as continuous sampling method were used to implement the objectives. The main material for the study was articles united by the “OBOR” topic presented on the pages of the online platform of The Zhenmin Zhibao 人民日报 - The Zhenmin Wang 人民网. The first stage of the study is related to the identification of information sources characteristic of the Chinese media discourse, and covering the topic of OBOR. The second stage of the study was the sampling of examples of verb combinations that represent sources of information within the meaning of indirect evidentiality ‘quotative’ and full citation. The third stage of the research was the identification of the verbs with which Chinese publicists formalize sources of information of indirect evidentiality. As a result, the study showed that the main sources of information in Chinese media texts can be divided into several groups: (1) persons (politicians and representatives of various organizations); (2) organizations (financial and trade, mass media); (3) documents (research results and statistics). The study showed that the OBOR Chinese media discourse is dominated by the references to the source of information related to the first group - persons (politicians, representatives of various organizations). Speeches of Chinese government officials and public agents play a significant role in the information support of the OBOR media discourse. Their representation in the text is carried out mainly by means of verbs of speech and mental activity. It is concluded that statements with the evidentiality meaning of ‘quotative’ is the most common way of presenting information in the OBOR Chinese-language discourse.
