LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com iii ABSTRACT The dissertation aims at comparing and contrasting television news in English and Vietnamese from cognitive approach with the assistance of corpus-based analysis techniques. The main source of data is daily news from BBC World News and VTV1 channel, both covering the topic of natural disasters. The analytical framework is centered on mental spaces and Figure-Ground theories. The study first provides in-depth analysis regarding mental spaces in television news in English and Vietnamese, how mappings are constructed to generate blended spaces. Secondly, research is conducted on how Figure-Ground theory is illustrated in news language and what cognitive differences there are between the two languages. The results show that there were cognitive similarities and differences between the two sources of news stories in the way of reporting news. Because cognition is embodied, the way reality (i. natural disasters) was viewed and retold in news stories in each language had its own features. In English news, the disastrous events were reported with more current and up-to-date information. Details of the disasters were described with more facts, numbers and directly from various points of view such as the news readers, the field reporters, region correspondents and witnesses. In other words, it can be said that English news was more direct, factive and objective. On the contrary, in Vietnamese news, stories were focused more on the consequences. The information included not only the events themselves but also subjective advice, prediction and evaluation of the reporters and news makers. Description of the events was also concerned with subjective attitudes, compared with human feelings and endurance. Human sufferings and feelings were integrated while news stories were told. In summary, The English news generally is more factive, reported from the view of the outsiders. The event is focused on itself and news has the function of objectively reporting events with full and immediate details. Meanwhile, Vietnamese news is reported from the view of the insiders. The ego is seen as the reference for description, prediction, advice and evaluation. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com iv TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I – INTRODUCTION 1.

Rationale The media has now become one of the principal means of getting information about the world. Not only for information, are the media also used for various purposes including entertainment, education, national identity enhancement or even political ones. Among media channels, television seems to be increasingly popular and favoured as access to television is widening to everyone and every corner of the world. It is largely believed that the media are always there, and have come to be taken for granted as an integral part of most people’s lives. With its crucial role, the power of the media cannot be denied. They are a “site for the production and circulation of social meanings, i. to a great extent the media decide the significance of things that happen in the world for any given culture” (Thornborrow, 2004:56). Within the research circle, the media has been explored a great deal so far. With regards to TV news alone, much interest has been shown in the field of linguistics. Hohn (1995) investigated linguistic features of BBC Radio 1 and Radio 4 to find out the similarities and differences between them. In 2006, Luginbuehl presented the result of comparing news stories in American and Swiss TV news since the 60s in view of “culturality”. His conclusion stated that Swiss TV news showed a detached way of reporting while CBS news displayed close and immediate reports; cultural differences were also found in different journalistic roles.
