新闻语篇之所以成为学术研究的对象，一个核心原因是它在建立和维护意识形态方面的潜在和实际作用。新闻之所以能做到这一点，是因为它是由语言和其他符号形式构成的(Hasan，1996a)。本文根据《宣传模式》(Herman and Chomksy，2002[1988])中关于话语的假设与乔姆斯基传统中的语言本质之间的矛盾，来考察媒体对2003年联军入侵伊拉克的报道。宣传模式是以语言的社会性和符号性为前提的，这两个方面在乔姆斯基的语言学理论中是缺失的。矛盾的是，乔姆斯基传统中的语言描述不能被用来分析乔姆斯基和赫尔曼20多年前确定的新闻语篇，作为建立和加强深刻和必然的意识形态的媒介，这些意识形态今天与以往一样强大。
A central reason why news discourse is an object of academic research is its potential and actual role in establishing and maintaining ideology. News can do this because it is made of language and other semiotic modalities (Hasan, 1996a). This article considers the media coverage of the 2003 ‘Coalition’ invasion of Iraq, in light of the contradictions between the assumptions about discourse in the ‘propaganda model’ (Herman and Chomksy, 2002[1988]), and the nature of language in the Chomskyan tradition. The propaganda model is predicated on language being social and semiotic, two aspects of language absent in Chomsky’s linguistic theory. Paradoxically, linguistic description in the Chomskyan tradition cannot be recruited to analysing the news discourse identified by Chomsky and Herman, over 20 years ago, as the medium for the establishment and reinforcement of deep and consequential ideologies, which are as powerful today as they have ever been.
