电视访谈节目兴起于美国并发展较为成熟,国内关于访谈节目的会话结构分析特别是两国访谈节目的分析探讨的较少。本文以会话结构分析为理论基础,以10期《查理罗斯秀》和10期《面对面》为语料,从会话整体结构方面分析两个访谈节目的异同及其背后的原因。最后得出《查理罗斯秀》主持人拥有更大的话语控制权以及《面对面》主持人更加遵循注重礼貌原则和面子保全理论的结论。 TV talk shows have been on the rise in the United States and are relatively mature. The domestic analysis on the structure of conversations about talk shows, especially the talk shows on the two countries, is relatively small. This dissertation analyzes the similarities and differences between the two talk shows and the reasons behind the talk from the perspective of conversation structure analysis. The paper consists of 10 Charlie Rose shows and 10 face-to-face interviews. Finally, we can conclude that the host of “Charlie Rose” has more control over discourse and the “face-to-face” moderator more closely follows the politeness principle and face preservation theory.
