Speech linguistics acts as one front—line subject in now days, which expands the research of language to the discourse structure, striding an important step on pushing the development of the research of language.The essay take use of Verschueren's pragmatics theory (select langue etc. ) describe and illustrate wholly the character of cite ,pragmatic feature ,language expressing forms, and the rules of choosing cites of the news discourse ,which starts with discourse analysis ,taking the quoting phenomena of the news speech as the researching object.Chinese and foreign learners have research widely about the quoting phenomena.
