ABSTRACT

 

News comment is a way for journalists to make comments on the important events at home and abroad by using mass media like TV, newspaper and broadcast. Because of the important role that news comment plays in the cognition of the public on such big events, the research on news comment discourse is very significant. The strategy of “appeal to fear” is a common argumentative mean used in news comment discourse, it is a way to make an argumentation by using the fear of audiences. This article uses the methods of “comparison” and “case study”, and takes “appeal to fear” as the key point. It concludes four different types of this strategy and evaluates the strategy from “Individual health”, “personal and society security”, “natural diasater” and “national interests”.

Key words: news comment discourse; appeal to fear (Argumentum ad metum); pragama-dialectical perspective
