 mainly  focuses  on  linguistic  features  of  the  text  itself.  In  this  part,  the contrastive  analysis  will  be  carried  out  mainly  from  two  aspects:  classification  and transitivity. According to Hodge and Kress (1979), classification is at the basis of language and  thought  and  no  one  could  relate  concepts  or  message  without  adoption  of classification because words and concepts only exist through classification. As social beings  we  learn  how  to  classify  the  world  and  we  learn  the  world  through classification.  The  classification  in  discourse  is  mainly  realized  by  means  of  word choice. In news reports, due to the journalists’ different political stances and different ideologies,  the  same  event  is  often  described  with  different  words  and  different phrases by the different news media. That is, classification manifests different values and ideologies. Therefore, a contrastive analysis of classification in The Guardian and China Daily is worthwhile to be studied.

Conclusion 

After a detailed contrastive critical analysis of the news reports in The Guardian and  China  Daily  on  the  topic  of  the  Occupy  Central  movement  of  Hong  Kong  with the assist of Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the three research questions which are mentioned in Chapter One can be answered as follows: First  of  all,  in  terms  of  linguistic  features,  both  classification  and  transitivity have  been  carried  out  in  the  stage  of  description  to  explore  the  differences  in  these selected news reports. In the classification part, The Guardian and China Daily show their different attitudes by carefully choosing different words. The Guardian tends to regard the Occupy Central movement as a legal and progressive movement launched by brave and innocent Hong Kong citizens to oppose the tough and tyrannical central government.  While  China  Daily  takes  the  Occupy  Central  movement  as  an  illegal movement causing bad effects on Hong Kong society. With regard to transitivity, six processes are analyzed to show the differences of the news reports. In The Guardian, the  actions  of  the  demonstrators  are  employed  to  depict  a  positive  image  of demonstrators while in China Daily the material processes are used to stress the bad effects  of  the  illegal  movement  on  Hong  Kong  society.  The  verbal  behaviors  of  the demonstrators  are  focused  in  The  Guardian  to  illustrate  a  good  image  of  the movement  while  diverse  Sayers  in  China  Daily  make  the  news  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。
