Abstract


Weather Forecast has become an indispensable part of our lives, the the CCTV set around half past seven p.m. weather forecast is the highest-rated programs. Because the weather forecast has a strong information, so there is little redundancy phenomenon linguists to pay attention to the weather forecast language, which provides a new perspective for studying the weather forecast discourse. Based on redundant phenomenon, and the weather forecast the purpose of analysis, weather forecast discourse redundancy is defined as deliberately used in addition to the weather forecast core information, in order to achieve a certain communicative purpose weatherman A communication strategy. Adaptation Theory as the theoretical framework, redundant structure and Adaptation of Context, redundant phenomenon is divided into language redundancy and Context redundancy. Language redundancy is divided into lexical repetition, synonyms, or synonyms, alleged and the Discourse Markers; contextual redundancy into Greetings, apologies to remind, apparent temperature, weather review, the meteorological knowledge dang words and audio-visual redundancy. Language redundancy, repeat weather forecast weather forecast redundant information unique to a pragmatic function. Beijing's weather forecast is always the first and last a city forecasts, marks the beginning of the weather forecasts for cities and the weather forecast program came to an end. Of Discourse Markers main role is to connect the two words part of its propositional meaning, but does not have an impact, but the lack of discourse markers will cause the listener's vocabulary clues interrupt. Weather Forecast discourse context redundant information four language functions: the maintenance of social relations; protect people's lives and property, or to improve the people's living standards; help understand weather and weather forecasts; for the weatherman Organization language win time. The language prevalent conform to the community, and communicative norms to adapt to each other, one of the main social factors and language selection. In order to maintain good social relations, communication must comply with the communicative norms, including greeting, apology and explanation the weatherman mainly through the pleasantries with the audience at the beginning of the program, to apologize and explain the apparent temperature forecast is inaccurate and The forecast temperature difference to maintain good social relations between the audience. The psychological world trigger the choice of language and communicative diversification plays a very important role. In the use of language may be activated psychological world, including a number of aspects, such as personality, emotions, beliefs, desires and ideas, motivation and intention. The key factor in the weather forecast, the language selection forecasters motives and intentions, their primary purpose is the dawn of the bad weather by issuing early warning information to protect people's lives and property safety, in normal weather, provide weather information so that people living arrangements to improve our standard of living, so they clear the information inherent in the basic weather information, and to remind people to take preventive measures. The audience to fully understand forecast information is another factor affecting their language selection, some terms may be because the weather forecast is that the audience had never heard of. In order to comply with that context, if necessary, their weather forecasts by meteorological knowledge. Weather Forecast dang word, such as \\Gender the dang word choice also influential. According to the weather forecast for June 15 to July 10, we found that Yang Dan Dang word frequency is 7.02 times that of the Song Yingjie, as female forecasters dang word frequency lower Wang Lan, the frequency of use of the dang word Feng Shu 2.29 times the the Feng Shu dang word frequency is higher than Song Yingjie. In general, women weatherman in the number and frequency of dang word should be much higher than the male forecasters. Nevertheless, the use of some redundancy in the weather forecast has been questioned. For example, in such a short time shows whether it is necessary to announce information distribution unit, because this information is displayed on the screen. In the social context, language selection is often through the agency approved by the judgment, for example, only judges have the right to, on behalf of the China Meteorological Administration forecasters only the power to predict the weather in the Central Television program, so forecasters approved by the speaker, their forecast from the authority. Therefore, the social world conform to this redundancy redundant.
