What are the linguistic features of news?

News language has the quality and style of expressing facts and disseminating information, and thus forms its own language characteristics. The characteristics of news language can be summarized as: objective, accurate, concise, simple and popular.

target

The facts reported in the news are objective. One of the characteristics of news language used to state and express facts is the objectivity of choosing words and making sentences. It is true that a journalist always has the difference between love and hate and praise for objective facts, which inevitably increases subjective feelings in the use of language. However, in order to make the news audience grasp the basic information of facts, they still have to be limited by literal objectivism, especially in news reports.

The objectivity of news language does not exclude news tendency. On the contrary, objective language serves the subjective intention of news dissemination. Needless to say, the news media represents the position and interests of a certain class or social group, and the news it spreads often has a certain tendency, and the basis for expressing the tendency is objective facts. Only by objectively reappearing the true colors of the facts can we conform to the psychology of the audience and receive the expected communication effect. Therefore, the main function of news language is to express objective facts, and the strong exposure of subjective knowledge and emotion will inevitably interfere with readers' understanding and grasp of the original facts.

The objective features of news language are usually as follows:

(1) There are more neutral words than commendatory words.

Neutral words do not directly reveal the feelings of journalists, while praise and criticism words obviously show a clear tendency of love and hate. News writing, especially news writing, generally uses neutral words instead of praise and criticism in order to objectively describe the facts and influence the audience through reporting the facts. Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, February 1957-These days, the snow on the streets of Shanghai has not melted, the spring is chilly, and the lowest temperature has dropped to MINUS 7.4 degrees Celsius. Shanghainese have suffered a rare cold for more than 80 years since meteorological records were recorded. At 10 and 1 1, it snows sunny here. The sun is shining, snowflakes are flying in the sun, and pedestrians stop to look up at this magnificent spectacle. "There was a snowstorm the night before yesterday, and there were 800 children's bodies last night." These are the first two sentences in the poem Zero Life written by the poet Cang Kejia in February 1947. It's much colder these days than it was 10 years ago, but according to the investigation of Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, so far no one has frozen to death. The Civil Affairs Bureau has arranged for all districts to strengthen the relief work for residents living in difficulties, especially the elderly who are lonely. In order to avoid the cold affecting children's health, education bureau of shanghai extended the start date of kindergartens in the whole city to 18.

The news titled "Cold in Shanghai" is less than 300 words. The language of the whole work does not use words that reflect strong feelings. However, through the reporter's description of the street snow in Shanghai and the comparison before and after 10, as well as the measures taken by the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau and the Education Bureau in the severe cold, we can see two endings of the old and new societies. The reporter writes naturally and calmly, but no one can deny that the author's thoughts are boiling and love and hate are clear, which can make the 300-word report show a real picture: the old and new societies are two worlds. If this work uses more praise and criticism words that reflect love and hate, it will not be so attractive.

Modifiers are more restrictive than descriptive.

In order to objectively express news facts, it is necessary to directly and coherently state the factual elements, such as the allegations, time, place, orientation, scope, degree, process, quantity, attribution and causality of the relationship between facts. These components are mainly expressed by restrictive attributes and adverbials, while the fewer adjectives or adjective phrases are mainly used for description and expression, the better. The article "Shanghai Great Cold" is more restrictive than descriptive in attributive and adverbial. For example, if the snow on the streets of Shanghai does not melt and the temperature drops to-7.4 degrees, it will be limited to a few days before1957 February 12, and the scenes of snow on sunny days will be "10 and1"and "a night of snow and the bodies of 800 children. Today, no one has been found frozen to death, which is the conclusion of the "investigation by Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau". The assistance provided by civil affairs organs is limited to "residents with difficulties in life", "especially the helpless elderly" and so on. Only sunny days "shining high", snowflakes "flying" in the sun, pedestrians "stopping to look up" and "magnificent wonders" are attributive and adverbial adjectives.

The objectivity of choosing words and making sentences requires us to use more restrictive modifiers appropriately. Restrictive words can make news works express news facts accurately, vividly and simply. The concept of fact here must be clear. Concept is a form of thinking that reflects the essential attributes of things. It has two aspects: connotation and extension. Connotation is the essential attribute of things reflected by concepts, while extension is the scope of things reflected by concepts. Objective things are always concrete, with both quantitative and qualitative boundaries. At the same time, we should pay attention to the boundaries of conditions, places and time. In this way, you can use restrictive words when writing news. If adjectives are used inappropriately and flowery rhetoric is pursued, it will be difficult to keep the original appearance of objective things and will damage the authenticity of news.

Modifiers are more restrictive than descriptive, will they affect readers' mood? It depends on the author's skill in choosing words and making sentences. The author who likes "straightness" and "dew" conveys his subjective consciousness and strong feelings to readers, which to some extent reflects his lack of pen power and his failure to master the news language; Sophisticated reporters integrate emotions into objective facts, speak from facts, make readers feel in conclusive facts, produce readers' own emotions, make him angry and make him cry. This effect is naturally much better than the last one.

AFP reporter Bionic's report on the death of Premier Zhou Enlai is worth learning:

Beijing Radio recently announced the death of China Prime Minister Zhou Enlai at 5am local time, but most people in China didn't know that their prime minister had passed away. Just after 4 o'clock local time, when the teletypewriter of Xinhua News Agency sent the news, almost all the streets in China were empty. In the building where AFP is located, when the reporter told the girl who was driving the elevator, she burst into tears. When expressing condolences to an interpreter in China, he said with tears in his eyes and trembling lips, "We didn't expect this. We love him very much. He is an outstanding revolutionary. " It is no exaggeration to say that the people of China love Zhou Enlai and feel very close to Zhou Enlai. It is expected that all of China will show great sadness, just like the China girl who heard the sad news this morning.

The news written by bionic man is not long, but it is really touching to read. It fully expresses the grief of China people over the death of Premier Zhou Enlai. There are few descriptive attributes in news, but they objectively state the shots chosen by reporters, and these shots are the most touching. For example, Gu Nian, who was driving the elevator, burst into tears when he heard the news of the death of the Prime Minister. When the translator heard the news, his eyes were full of tears and his lips were trembling, expressing his love for the Prime Minister. The grief spontaneously expressed by these people from different classes is real and kind, which makes people cry.

Therefore, vivid and touching reports do not mean that descriptive words must be used more, and works written with restrictive words are not necessarily not touching. The objectivity of news language and the tendentiousness and readability of news are not contradictory, but often complement each other.

(3) The declarative tone of the sentence is more than the exclamatory tone.

Exclamation sentences often have a strong emotional tone and fluctuate greatly; Although statements can also bring some feelings, the intonation is generally not obvious. It is mainly used to state facts to achieve the desired effect, rather than relying on naked praise or accusation to achieve the effect.

Xinhua News Agency reporters wrote the news of "Great Cold in Shanghai" and praised the new regime with strong emotions. He compared the two severe winters in Shanghai around 10, which can be described as a thousand sighs. However, he did not use the tone of exclamation in his works, but only made a calm and faint statement, which made readers and listeners sigh. AFP reporter Bionics is a foreigner. He only reported the situation of China Prime Minister Zhou Enlai in a declarative tone, without using any sigh tone, but it made the audience all over the world feel the great sorrow of the people of China. This kind of social effect can not be achieved by writing messages in an exclamatory tone. Therefore, no matter when telling the facts or using characters to speak or talk, we should try our best to master the emotional discretion in tone, and carefully use the exclamation tone with strong emotional color so as not to interfere with the objectivity of news. Of course, in some high-profile news works, in order to express the author's strong and intense thoughts and feelings, it is also necessary to use some exclamation tone appropriately.

The objectivity of news language is also a feature of news beauty. The aesthetic view of dialectical materialism holds that beauty is objective and based on truth. All beautiful things are in the living reality. The objectivity of news language can objectively and fairly spread the beauty of objective reality, the requirements and contents of social practice, the noble sentiments in people's spiritual life, the conflict and struggle between beauty and ugliness, guide everyone's yearning for beauty and promote social progress through news carriers.

certain

Accuracy means accuracy and appropriateness. Liu Xie pointed out in the article "Wen Xin Diao Zhang Long Sentence": "The article is wonderful and the chapter is flawless; The chapters are clear and the sentences are perfect; The sentence is clear and English, and the words are innocent. " He used this exact meaning when he said "self-deception". Gorky also said: "As a touching force, language is real beauty, and this beauty comes from the accuracy, clarity and beauty of words." Literary works cannot tolerate vague, vague and chaotic descriptions. For news reports that reflect facts, the accuracy and appropriateness of their language should be a major feature. This is also the language requirement of the principle of news authenticity.

In the use of news language, it requires high accuracy and tries to eliminate the fuzziness of the language, but it does not completely eliminate the fuzziness of the language. However, its fuzziness is completely different from that of literary creation. An author who studies news language takes two paragraphs, one is literary language and the other is news language, and compares them.

There is a passage from Haoran's novel Sunny Days: the storm shook Dongshan Island, and lightning and thunder brought thunder. Rain, like a ladle for a while, like a sieve for a while, like a sprayer for a while, spraying there unhurriedly-for a while, for a while; Small for a while, big for a while, and intertwined. Rain falls from the eaves, walls and treetops, spreads out in the yard, bubbles like boiling, rolls down along the crack of the door and the ditch, and the water from thousands of courtyards merges into a torrent on the street, passing through corners, roots and dung piles, and rushes to Jinquan River in the west of the village.

Another passage is selected from Nanfang Daily's June 6 1983 edition "There was a rainstorm in Guangzhou this morning":

At midnight last night, thunder rumbled, thunder flashed and it rained cats and dogs. According to the report of Guangzhou Meteorological Observatory, it rained145.5mm within one hour this morning. This rainstorm is the biggest rain in Guangzhou this year. Due to the fierce storm, heavy rainfall and long rainstorm time, some low-lying sections of Guangzhou flooded into some factories, warehouses and houses, and some low-lying vegetable fields in the suburbs were flooded, causing certain losses. Some readers called, nearly 200 households living in Shuijun Street and Shuijun South Street on Dongfeng East Road were flooded, and the indoor water accumulated was more than 30 cm deep. By 2 o'clock, the rainstorm was still going on.

After research, the author points out that there are obvious differences between the two situations in the use and collocation of accurate words and fuzzy words:

1. Different language effects. The text in the previous paragraph artistically reproduces the reality of life, so we don't pay attention to the accuracy of rainstorm and the loss of waterlogging, but the positive image of rainstorm and waterlogging, which makes the image more subtle, forms the artistic conception, and makes people feel gratified, taste and enjoy aesthetics. In the latter part, the collocation effect of accurate words and fuzzy words is to obtain accurate and scientific rainstorm waterlogging information with high accuracy.

2. The collocation relationship is different. In the last paragraph, accurate words and fuzzy words are intertwined along the dynamic trend of the image, and the structural relationship is natural and smooth, forming a perfect image relationship. The structural boundaries between the latter two roles are obvious. Accurate sentences often form a progressive interpretation relationship with vague sentences. The third sentence is an accurate comparison of the degree of rain from the vertical direction of time. The fourth sentence is a fuzzy summary of the cause and effect of rainstorm waterlogging. The fifth sentence also explains the extent of the loss more accurately. The abstract generalization of fuzzy sentences and the concrete interpretation of accurate sentences reflect the common collocation relationship between accurate sentences and fuzzy sentences in news language.

3. Different quantity requirements. Fuzzy sentences emphasize that "quantitative analysis" is a universal feature, but the quantification of fuzzy words in literary sentences is more general and descriptive than those in news language, such as "big for a while, small for a while", "1000 schools" and "big streets" in the previous paragraph. However, the number of fuzzy adjectives, adverbs and quantifiers in the second half is relatively accurate, such as "around midnight last night", before midnight last night and after midnight today, which is more accurate than calling "last night" in general; "Nearly 200 households" and "more than 30 centimeters" are more accurate than "hundreds of households" and "dozens of centimeters"; "Some sections" and "some factories" are more accurate than "1000 courtyards" and "streets".

4. Rhetoric is different. Literary language often uses exaggeration, metaphor, metaphor, analogy and other imaginative ways to organize the collocation of vague words, so that words and expressions are either true or false, or at arm's length. For example, in the last paragraph, the size of rain was compared to "watering", "sieving" and "spraying", which may not be accurate, but it is vivid. On the other hand, news language mostly uses rhetorical methods directly corresponding to factual forms, which is also a manifestation of news language's emphasis on accuracy.

Generally speaking, news should use accurate language or language with high accuracy where it should be used and can be used. This is one aspect. On the other hand, in people's daily social communication, the fuzziness of language is a universal objective existence. Therefore, the news language also retains the "fuzzy" component, which is not necessarily as accurate as the scientific language. For example, if it rains and it rains heavily this morning, it is a vague language to say "it rained heavily this morning". As for the rainfall from 5: 40 to 7: 23, the rainfall in Zhaojiabang Township reached 32.3mm, and that in Fanshui Town reached 37.5mm.. At that time, it was used for scientific research. Under normal circumstances, the vague language of "it rained heavily this morning" is enough for the masses.

The vague language of news is not vague, but its accuracy is lower than that of accurate language, but it does not lose its accuracy. In order to reflect the truth of the facts, news language should use more accurate language and less vague language in terms of word selection criteria, and make the two match properly. For some facts that cannot or do not need to be reflected with high precision, there should also be relatively accurate quantitative and qualitative (degree) expressions. If it is too vague, it will be too general and even distorted.

In short, as far as fact reporting is concerned, the exact meaning of news language should be:

-accurate, not exaggerated, not out of shape, not fake.

-Appropriateness, narration, materials and writing are all appropriate, and words of praise and criticism should not be abused.

-clear and clear, making people clear and credible.

Concise

The most important thing in news is exquisiteness, and boredom is a disease. News language should be concise, concise, clean and tidy, and should not be sloppy. As Mr. Lu Xun said: "concise words have the power to penetrate the reader's heart."

Concise writing is the tradition of China's documentary style. Liu Zhiji, a famous historian in the Tang Dynasty, once put forward the idea of "keeping narrative concise" from the perspective of Historical Records, demanding that "articles should be concise but rich in things", and many historical events should be written in concise words. The so-called "keeping promises and getting rich" is also a requirement for news writing. The news in a newspaper is generally short in length and few in words, but it should provide readers with a lot of information. There is no other knack for language, so we can only rely on the word "simplicity". Newsletters, special reports, explanatory reports and other news genres, even if they are very long and have a lot of words, should be as concise as possible and should not be watered down by the number of words allowed.

Beginners of news writing think that news reports can only reflect historical events quickly. How to pay attention to the conciseness and refinement of language in time? This puts the timeliness of communication in opposition to the simplicity of language. In fact, the two are not only not contradictory, but also complementary. If the news is short and pithy, the language should be concise. Language is the carrier of information, and more information should be transmitted in the most economical language. Therefore, as an information language, news style should save words and sentences, and strive to highlight standard information-main news facts.

/kloc-at the end of 0/0, a batch of materials provided by China Red Cross Society to Cambodian refugees arrived in Bangkok. At that time, several news agencies at home and abroad sent news.

According to a news agency, a batch of daily necessities donated by China Red Cross recently arrived in Thailand to help alleviate the plight of Cambodian refugees. China ocean liner Huayin unloaded medicine, canned food and cloth at Bangkok Port that afternoon. These materials will be distributed by the Thai Red Cross to Cambodian refugees who have crossed into Thailand.

The news from another news agency is:

China's first aid to the Thai Red Cross arrived in Bangkok on Friday. The ship was carrying 70,000 dollars worth of canned decorations and medicines to a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian border. The Huayin docked at the port of Conte in Bangkok.

The language of these two messages is concise and clear. In contrast, the latter message is more concise but informative, which explains the value, arrival place and transportation destination of relief materials.

So, how to make the news language concise?

First of all, we should make things clear, think through the problems and sum up a distinct theme, which is the basic link of concise language. If you think clearly, you can speak clearly and express concisely. The choice of words and sentences in news writing is inseparable from deliberation, which means "thinking". If you think more, you can write less. You can write well if you think deeply. Without careful consideration, there is no conciseness and fluency of language.

Secondly, we should say short sentences and write short sentences. There are no redundant lyric sentences, too many adjectives, inappropriate metaphors and epigrams. Don't say two or three sentences if you can say one, and don't leave any extra words, so save words and sentences. Cherish ink like gold.

Lu Xun said: After writing, read it at least twice and try to delete unnecessary words, sentences and paragraphs. There's nothing to regret. He fully embodies this idea in his writing practice. For example, there is a passage in "Death", and the first draft is: "At this time, I am convinced that I believe that people die without ghosts, even though they have been ill for a long time and have a high fever." At the time of the manuscript, it was changed to: "At this time, I believe that I really believe that people die without ghosts." This abridgement by Lu Xun makes the sentence more concise without damaging the original intention. Because the word "exact" is used in the first draft, it is enough to show the firm attitude, so it is bright to delete the clause below "although"

In addition, in sentence structure, we should emphasize simplicity and directness, with less twists and turns, especially taboo language impurities, and don't let complicated structures, rhetorical devices and expression languages drown out the facts. The language of many news stories is tedious and full of empty talk and nonsense. Such as "under the excellent situation of …", "under the encouragement (promotion) of …" and "on the basis of …", a series of boring and old-fashioned sentence patterns. Unless these cliches are eliminated, language cannot be concise. Another example is a newsletter: "Not only when sowing, he walks around the ground every day, wishing young people to sow evenly;" Moreover, after the wheat seedling was unearthed, he walked around the field every day. When he saw any missing lines, he made up for them one by one with the seeds he brought. "a comrade changed it to:" when sowing, he walked around the field every day and told young people to sow evenly; "When the seedlings appeared, he bowed his head with the seeds and filled in the missing seedlings." After this change, the number of words was reduced by 1/3, and the meaning of the original manuscript was not damaged. The main reason is that the sentence pattern of "not only ... but also ..." is not used in the revised manuscript.

simple

Conciseness and concreteness are another feature of news language.

Li Baiyou said in a poem: "Clear water gives birth to hibiscus, and it is natural to carve it." This is consistent with the requirement of conciseness of news language. When the news language is simple, it should be "true, whitewash and not show off". Don't pursue flowery rhetoric, use adjectives and additional words as little as possible, and don't make that flashy show off. News writing uses plain language, which is natural and unpretentious, but reliable and not vain, so it can attract and win the trust of the audience.

News language is also famous for its concreteness. The facts that exist objectively are always concrete. News reporting facts cannot be abstracted or conceptualized, including time, place, people, events, etc. And it must be concrete, tangible and tangible, making people feel visible and tangible.

The People's Daily's report on "Overseas staff of Beijing Hospital strive to save foreign exchange" states the facts in plain language. Among them, it reads: Japanese visitors do not talk about ostentation and extravagance, do not show off, and do not spend a penny indiscriminately. Before going abroad, the cost of making clothes and clothing did not meet the national standards. Some people should have made four clothes, but they only made three. When I go abroad, I stay in cheap and simple hotels, eat popular meals, go out by bus, and sometimes just walk. In order to save money, all the scientific and technical materials they bring to the public are put in personal boxes, and they carry them when they get on and off the plane. Their total cost of going abroad is less than half of that stipulated by the state. People who go to Canada and the United States to study medical electronic computers should spend as little as possible, and spend less than one-third of the prescribed amount every day. One day, they are going to visit a famous zoo. When they arrive at the door, a ticket costs 50 cents in 2 yuan and 50 cents in 7 yuan for seven people. Everyone is very distressed to spend this money. Some people say that when we visit the zoo, how many native products do farmers in the motherland have to sell? If we save one dollar, we can add one dollar to the four modernizations. As soon as everyone discussed it, they changed to visit other places.

This news has no grandiloquence or grandiose rhetoric, but a simple and natural expression according to the original characteristics of news facts. In particular, settling accounts at the gate of the zoo, linking the ticket fees with farmers selling local products, reflects the spiritual realm of these intellectuals and farmers, which makes people feel amiable and credible, and can not help but remind people that some people go abroad to spend foreign exchange indiscriminately, in sharp contrast.

Just because news language is concise doesn't mean it can't be described. It is important to describe it properly. This description is not the "creative imagination" of literary works, but an intuitive portrayal of real life, which simply reflects the original appearance of objective things; The image it depicts is a factual image, not an artistic image. Although the shape, sound, color and taste of objective things enter the news, the audience can feel its various forms, but it is completely different from the way of subjective imagination to render and pile up adjectives at will. Melvin Manke, a famous American new writer, said: "Strictness in writing will lead to conciseness in language." The conciseness, naturalness and concreteness of news language is not only the requirement of news language law, but also the embodiment of the author's temperament. Therefore, we are required to strengthen our self-cultivation, have a simple temperament, and write good works that affect readers' hearts in simple language.

popular

Popular, that is, simple, easy to understand, easy for everyone to understand, with social universality. As the news carrier of mass media, facing the millions of readers, audiences and listeners in Qian Qian, only by spreading information in popular language can it be accepted by the public and produce the due communication effect. Therefore, the popularity of language is also a feature of news language.

Cao Xueqin, a writer in Qing Dynasty, was good at quoting popular language at that time, which added gorgeous artistic brilliance to A Dream of Red Mansions. It can be said that the artistic achievement of A Dream of Red Mansions is closely related to people's language art when Cao Xueqin absorbed and used it. For example, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu became bosom friends, and said to Lin Daiyu through Zijuan's mouth, "The girl is a smart person, but I don't know the saying that' two thousand gold is easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find'." It is catchy and meaningful to read. There are a series of proverbs in the book, such as "a gone tree falls apart", "a lean camel is bigger than a horse", "a clever woman can't cook without rice", "a shed is built in a thousand miles, and there is no banquet that must come to an end" and so on. The language is vivid, memorable and memorable.

Modern writers in China also attach importance to the use of popular language. Lao She always changes and changes his writing. As long as he wrote an unclear and loud sentence, unlike what he said orally, he changed it into a more understandable and popular sentence, which is close to the spoken language of the people. He believes that truth, simplicity, popularity and artistry are closely related, and truth does not hinder popularity and artistry.

News carrier is a tool of mass communication, and news works can only play a role in communication if they are loved by the masses. If news language is divorced from popularity, it is divorced from millions of readers and listeners in Qian Qian. Therefore, the popularization of news language is very important to news writing and the whole news communication cause. Here, let's take a look at a news published in Xinmin Evening News in Shanghai: On March 6, a foreigner with a Sichuan accent came to the Laoximen Industrial and Commercial Bureau in Shinan District and asked to buy 15 Jin of beef jerky he carried with him. It turns out that he is a cadre of fengjie county Machinery Factory in Sichuan Province, and his name is Xiang. He came to Shanghai on business this time to contact business. He believes that "a round stamp is not as familiar as a face, and nothing can be done without a gift". In order to make the work go smoothly, he specially bought 15 Jin of beef jerky locally as a way to get in touch with his work. However, he has been in Shanghai for two weeks, went to five or six units such as Chemical Industry Bureau and Agricultural Machinery Company, and refused to accept gifts. Jin 15 Jin of beef jerky was not sent away. Xiang wrote in the acquisition application: "I have successfully completed the task. According to the regulations of Shanghai, the beef jerky I brought needs your assistance." After the Shinan District Administration for Industry and Commerce decided to buy it at the market price, it was handed over to Laoximen Zhonghua Food Store for sale at the quoted price.

This news is meaningful, the language is easy to understand, and it is easy to read, just like talking. From the perspective of resisting unhealthy trends, the origin and process of news combined with events reflect people's mental outlook, which can be said to be unique and fascinating.

Popular language is also the language of the masses. To make the news language popular, we must make up our minds to learn the language of the masses. In February, when Comrade Mao Zedong made a speech on "Opposing stereotyped Party writing" at the Yan 'an cadre meeting, he called on the whole party to make efforts to learn the language from the people. He said: the people's vocabulary is very rich, lively and expressive of real life. He also said: If you are a person who not only verbally advocates but also popularizes your own truth, you should learn from the people on the spot, otherwise you still can't "reform". Naturally, popular language also has its own thickness, so we should take its essence, discard its dross, absorb the nutrition of popular language, enrich our own language vocabulary and add color to news language.

The popularization of news language requires readers (listeners and viewers) to use familiar language forms, that is, written language close to spoken language, from their own understanding level. Speak as many news languages as possible in radio and television. The sentences and paragraphs of the works should also be short rather than lengthy, and the broadcast draft should be smooth, with short and catchy sentences. In the written language of newspapers, inversion sentences can be used, such as "low cost, fast reproduction, saving feed, accumulating more fertilizer, edible meat and marketable skins." This is the six benefits of raising rabbits summarized by XX village, XX township, XX county. In order to make it a broadcasting language, the audience will be confused by such inverted sentences. When they finally heard it, they knew they were talking about raising rabbits, and they couldn't remember the first six benefits. Therefore, we must put "the six benefits of raising rabbits summarized by XX village, XX township, XX county" in the front. In ancient Chinese, monosyllabic words were basically used, while in modern Chinese, disyllabic or polysyllabic words were mostly used. For example, in written language, Dan, Zeng, Although, Dang, Because, Later, Should and Comparison can be used, while in broadcast language, it should be changed to But, Once, Although, When, Later and Comparison.

News language should also avoid using uncommon words and obscure words, and avoid using technical terms, industrial idioms, dialects, ancient words and foreign words. If necessary, it should be explained and explained to help the news audience understand the meaning. At present, there is a noticeable tendency, that is, dialects such as "An", "What" and "Zha" are often used in rural news reports, especially in oral broadcasts. It is believed that this can show the characteristics of rural areas and reflect the rusticity of farmers. In fact, the performance of rural areas or the characteristics of farmers do not lie in the use of such dialects and dialects. In a report, the whole news language is relatively standardized, and words such as "An", "What" and "Zha" appear in the middle, which is very uncoordinated. Sometimes, due to the need of quoting specific language environment such as peasant dialogue, the proper use of dialects is regarded as another theory.

In a word, news language has five characteristics: objectivity, accuracy, conciseness, conciseness and popularity. Mastering these characteristics and writing according to the rules of news language will certainly help to improve the level of news reporting.
