Abstract
Taking J. R. Martin’s Appraisal Theory as the theoretical framework, this paper will analyse the journalistic discourses about “the ASEAN-China Special Summit to Commemorate the 30th Anniversary of ASEAN-China Dialogue Relations” on China Daily from the perspective of positive discourse analysis, in order to explore the use of attitude resources and the discourse meanings conveyed in the article of the “Commemorative Summit”, and reveal its distinctive discourse organization pattern. The study shows that the journalistic discourse uses a large number of positive words and contexts to build a harmonious linguistic environment, which is conducive to fully presenting a positive image of China under the initiative of “building a community with a shared future for mankind”.
