Tentative Analysis of News from the Perspective of Interpersonal Metafunction

Bei Chen

Abstract


News reports as a special genre are not reliable and credible as we imagine. They do not only report news facts, but also
express some kind of attitudes which will influence readers’ judgments. According to interpersonal metafuction ,it is possible to
dig up the reporters’ or speakers’ ideology in discourse analysis through modal verbs, modal auxiliaries, modal adjectives, modal
lexical words, sometimes through tenses.

Keywords
