A Literature Review of News Discourse from Different Theoretical Perspectives

Abstract

This study reviews the literature on news discourses from the perspectives of theoretical frameworks as explored by scholars both domestically and internationally. The study reveals that scholars have predominantly utilized theories of transitivity, appraisal, modality systems, and discourse-historical approaches to investigate news discourse. Through literature review, it is believed that future research can further explore the theories of news discourse and strengthen the study of news discourse practices.
