摘要本文以《扬子晚报》和《人民日报》2014年10月1日至2015年3月31日报纸中有关“民工”的标题为语料，主要就汉语新闻标题中的民工形象进行讨论和分析。本文结合相关文献，从主题、修饰限定词、“民工”语义格三个方面对《扬子晚报》和《人民日报》进行分析。研究发现：就主题而言，民工在新闻标题中被建构为弱势形象，新闻报道常与负面事件有关。从修饰限定词方面进行分析，民工的群体形象突出，其个人形象模糊。就语义格来说，民工在标题中主要表现为施事格和与格，在新闻标题中相关的动作行为大多为负面词汇，尤其在地方新闻标题中；“民工”的正面形象在官方新闻标题中较为突出。另外，民工为客格时，常以受助者形象出现。总体来说，媒体从业者撰写的相关标题体现出民工形象类型化、标签化的特点。33862

Title The Discursive Construction of Migrant Workers' Image in Chinese News Headlines
Abstract
This paper collects the news headlines about migrant workers in the Yangtse Evening News and the People's Daily between October 1st, 2014 and March31st, 2015. It mainly analyzes migrant workers' image in the Chinese news headlines. Inspired from relevant literature review, the paper made a comparative study of the topics, modified determiners for and semantic cases of migrant workers in news headlines from the two newspapers. In terms of topics, it is found that the image of migrant workers is constructed to be vulnerable, and relevant news reports are mainly negative. In terms of modified determiners, the image of migrant workers is vague and plural. Besides, in terms of semantic case, in spite of an agentive case, the verb phrases describing migrant workers' behavior are mostly negative, especially in the local newspaper. The positive image of migrant workers is obviously shown in the official news headlines. What's more, as an objective or dative case, migrant workers show the image of being helped. In general, the image of migrant workers inclines to be stereotyped and labeled.

1 Introduction
News headlines, set before the main body of the news, are the simple words that generalize or comment on the news contents. News headlines have functions of piding, organizing, revealing and commenting on the news contents, and attracting readers' attention (Liu, 2011). The creation of news headlines plays a pivotal role in the whole news discourse. For recent decades, with the spread of urbanization, migrant workers, as the special product of China's social reform, draw attention of all governments and the society. A large quantity of relational news reports spring up. Since the twenty-first century, migrant workers, as a new group, have become the hot topic of academic research. Among the published papers about migrant workers, the majority concentrate on the identity of migrant worker as vulnerable group. Migrant workers' weakness and suffering are the focus of discussion. 汉语新闻标题中民工形象的话语建构:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_31160.html
