摘要:This paper aims to explore the underlying ideologies as well as the relationship between news discoutse and ideology by analyzing a news report on Saddam Hussei's capture in New York Times from the perspective of critical discourse analysis.While making the analysis,this paper studies the details of linguistic features,trausitivity,modality and themstic choice which are based on the three metafuoctions of language proposed by Halliday in systemic-functional grammar, so as to reveal how news discourse is used by powerful groups to reinforce dominant ideologies.and to gain profound insights about the stance and attitude maintained in news reports.
