An Intertextuality Study Of Political Speeches Of Russian State Leaders From The Perspective Of Political Linguistics (2000-2018)

Since the introduction of intertextuality theory in China,it has gone through more than 20 years of history.The study of intertextuality has gradually blossomed in the Chinese linguistics community,set off a wave of research,and formed an intertextuality research system with Chinese academic characteristics.It provides a good way for us to explore the structure of text,the mutual constructive relationship between language and social context.Entry point.Intertextuality research gradually presents multi-perspective and multi-dimensional research,which has aroused common concern in the fields of rhetoric and critical discourse analysis.However,compared with foreign countries,the development history of intertextuality theory in China is still short and not deep enough.It often stops at the definition of intertextuality and the description of intertextual means.It has not yet obtained a systematic theoretical understanding and interpretation.Discussions on the mechanism of intertextuality in political texts are rare.It can be seen that the study of intertextuality of political texts is a favorable perspective to expand the theoretical framework of political linguistics,and analyze the co-variant relationship between language and politics for us.Because of the great flexibility inherent in the definition of intertextuality and the different perspectives of scholars in different disciplines on intertextuality in development history,intertextuality is one of the most widely used and most useless terms in critical vocabulary today.One.The meaning of intertextuality is not only in the description of linguistic means and the analysis of etymology.It must get rid of purely objective description in order to analyze the essence of intertextuality in depth.This research introduces the theory of precedent phenomena and the theory of linguistic personality in Russian linguistics and chemistry,and combines the theory of critical discourse analysis to lay a solid theoretical foundation for this research.In view of this,this research constructs a multi-perspective,interdisciplinary framework of intertextual criticism analysis,which includes not only the description of intertextual means at the micro level,but also the interaction and construction of social context and intertextuality at the macro level.The relationship between intertextuality and social facts and political realities was explored.Based on the systematic description and interpretation of intertextuality,it aims to dig out the meaning,value and relationship between intertextuality and social construction.In this study,the texts of Putin and Medvedev ’s political speeches,which are two leaders that are vital to Russia and the world in the 21 st century,are selected as the research corpus.A total of 316 Putin ’s political speech texts,a total of 522780 words,have been collected.206 articles totaling 372097 words.After identification and extraction,349 intertextual texts of Putin’s political speech were obtained,with an average of 1.1 intertextual texts;Medvedev’s political speech texts were 166 interactive texts,with an average of 0.9 intertextual texts,and the differences were not enough to cause research error.This study aims to address the following three questions:(1)What are the characteristics and similarities of intertextuality in the texts of Putin and Medvedev’s political speeches?(2)What are the characteristics and functions of intertextuality in political texts? What kind of ideology and power relations are reflected in it?(3)What political reality does intertextuality build? What functions does intertextuality have in political texts?To solve the above problems,this research combines qualitative and quantitative research,synchronic and diachronic research.Associative experiments were conducted on some research results,and the source and intertextuality of intertextuality were described and explained.It also explained the political values and governance of Putin and Medvedev,and analyzed the power centers and diplomatic strategies of Russia’s Putin power twins.we discover:(1)Description and interpretation of intertextuality: We find that the sources of intertextuality in Putin’s and Medvedev’s political speech texts have both similarities and differences.We find that Putin mainly uses intertexts derived from literary,political,and historical types;more intertexts from the 20 th century;mainly from Russian culture;more from the type of discourse of press conferences;intertextual text subject concentration On the subject of international relations and policy,war and peace.By comparing the sparseness of the intertextuality of Putin’s three terms and the relationship with the text’s theme,we find that the text’s intertextuality in Putin’s political speech is related to Putin’s political priority under his term.Different types.Embody the co-variant relationship between language and politics.Medvedev ’s political speech intertextuality has the following characteristics: In addition to literature,politics,and history,the source text also has a higher proportion of philosophy and law;there are more intertexts from the 20 th century;mainly from Russian national culture;The speech text of the forum contains the most mutual text;it is mainly distributed on the discourse topics of economic system and economic development and national governance.At the same time,we found that during the presidency of Medvedev,intertextuality focused on the text of economic themes.Medvedev focused on the integration and reconstruction of economic institutions and systems.During his tenure as Prime Minister,intertextuality has a high density in the text of the topic of internal planning,focusing on state governance and institutional reforms.The choice of intertextuality needs to be consistent with identity in order to obtain recognition and recognition.Therefore,intertextuality has the function of identity construction.It can be seen that the various forms and means of expression of intertextuality have a great relationship with the continuous migration of the two power centers.(2)Intertextual case characteristics: A comprehensive analysis framework of intertextual cases is established,which combines analysis with explicit and implicit intertextuality.Implicit intertextuality contains a large amount of national cultural information and has important research value.The study of implicit intertextuality can also discover the values and cultural knowledge of the language and cultural community.Through a critical analysis of the intertextuality of the texts of Pumei’s political speeches,the research finds that Putin and Medvedev’s intertextuality have the same characteristics: the most frequently used intertextuality is a historical precedent.As the smallest condensed form of national cultural information,the precedent situation contains evaluation criteria for good and evil.Therefore,the use of precedent context can control the receiver’s ideology indiscriminately,and evaluate the "right and wrong" and "good and bad" of the corresponding political views under the "surface" of the text,conveying the implicit political subject.Ideology,evaluation criteria for constructing a social system.The difference is that Medvedev is more focused on using citations.The choice and use of intertextuality also reflects the different discourse features of Putin and Medvedev.(3)Social research: This study introduces the concepts of intertextual library and intertextual ability,analyzes the cognitive layer and pragmatic layer of language personality,outlines the intertextual library of Putin and Medvedev,and interprets Pumei The political trajectory of the "dual-core era" and the differences in political values and historical views between the two.Putin focused on the use of intertextuality originating from the fields of literature,politics,and history;in the stormy Russia in the early 2000 s,Putin became the hope of all Russia.In order to stabilize his power and Russia’s international status,Putin focused on choosing intertextuality such as precedent situations.Medvedev’s political ideology of Putin has both inheritance and personal ideological characteristics.He focuses on the selection of intertexts derived from the fields of law,economics,and science,and reflects his political outlook on law and democracy.Revealed Medvedev’s core concept of building a new modern economic system and attaching importance to the development of science and technology.Through the study of intertextuality,it is found that political subjects will prescribe intertextuality according to the type of the language and cultural community of the speaker to effectively achieve political goals.Discourse,as a way to reproduce facts,intertextual ability reflects the degree of attention paid by political subjects to the addressee.Analyze the relationship between Putin and Medvedev with the help of the accompanying meaning and evaluation function of intertextuality.Understanding the political perspectives of Putin and Medvedev from the perspective of intertextuality is beneficial to analyze the future development of Russia,and it is also helpful for China to learn from the experience of Russian revival and construct our political discourse system.The research ideas of this study are reflected in the following aspects:First,theoretically,this research is based on the basic theory of political linguistics.It combines intertextuality research with linguistics,recontextualization,and critical discourse to intertextualize Putin and Medvedev ’s political speech Comparative study.In previous studies,domestic scholars mostly researched explicit intertextuality.We found that Russian scholars often combine the theory of precedent in language and culture with intertextuality,and even consider the two as the same concept.Based on an analysis of the nature of the two concepts,this study defines the differences and connections between intertextuality and precedent phenomena,and makes up for the lack of research on implicit intertextuality.Obviously,implicit intertextuality is the main way of intertextuality in political texts,and it is also the main means used by political subjects to control ideology and achieve political motivation.Based on this,the analysis framework of this research is proposed,and the discussion is carried out from the aspects of the structure,meaning and mechanism of intertextuality.It complements the intertextuality theory.Secondly,in terms of methodology,critical discourse analysis has always been questioned too subjectively,so this research is based on corpus and associative test research methods,using objective numbers and experimental results to make up for this deficiency.This qualitative and quantitative research method not only avoids the possible deviations from subjective analysis,but also confirms the validity of the research framework and confirms the credibility of the research results.At the same time,the concept of intertextual library and intertextual ability was introduced for the first time,and the theory of interlingual personality was combined to deepen the research on the intertextuality mechanism of political texts.Provided ideas for scholars.Third,in practice,the previous research on intertextuality has mostly focused on news texts,less research on the intertextuality of political texts,few Russian political texts,and research on Russian political texts.Mostly refer to Putin’s text.This research selected the speech texts of Putin and Medvedev as the research corpus.These two leaders are leaders of great significance to Russia and the entire international community since the 21 st century.year.Therefore,analyzing the political thoughts and governing practices of the two may have some implications for the construction of China’s political discourse system.
