系统功能语言学视角下视觉语法与多模态隐喻的意义协同——以纪录片《出发吧！去中国》为例

Meaning Synergy between Visual Grammar and Multimodal Metaphor from the Perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics—A Case Study of Documentary Let’s Go to China

摘要: 本文从系统功能语言学视角出发，探讨视觉语法与多模态隐喻在推动跨文化语篇深层次意义生成中的协同作用。以纪录片《出发吧！去中国》为例，研究通过分析选定画面的再现、互动和构图功能及其符号资源在“内嵌语境”规约下一致式与隐喻式的类比关系，揭示了视觉语法与多模态隐喻在增强语篇表意逻辑、促进文化认同及提高符号适配性方面的作用。《出发吧！去中国》的传播实践表明，二者协同生动展现了中华文化的传承与发展，显著提升了文化内容的传播效能。

Abstract: From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this study explores the synergistic role of Visual Grammar and Multimodal Metaphor in facilitating the generation of deep-level meaning in cross-cultural discourses. Taking the documentary Let’s Go to China as a case study, this research analyzes the representational, interactive and compositional functions of selected frames, as well as the analogical relationship between congruent and metaphorical meanings of semiotic resources under the regulation of the “embedded context”. It reveals the roles of Visual Grammar and Multimodal Metaphor in enhancing the ideational logic of discourse, fostering cultural identity, and improving semiotic adaptability. The communicative practice of Let’s Go to China demonstrates that the synergy between the two vividly presents the inheritance and development of Chinese culture and significantly improves the communication effectiveness of cultural content.
