Abstract
As environmental topics have become the focus of attention in recent years, this study conducts a study of transitivity system on news reports about Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water in the English version of People’s Daily from the perspective of ecological discourse analysis, aiming to find out how the process of transitivity is distributed in news reports about Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water in Japan, as well as what kind of ecological awareness is reflected in news reports. By manual selection of the corpus with the help of UAM Corpus Tool 6, the study found that the proportion of material process in such reports is high, while the proportion of behavioral process is low. The study aims to call on people to raise awareness of environmental protection, promote harmonious coexistence and sustainable development of human beings and nature, and protect the common home of the earth.
