Study on Foreign-related Police Emergency Rescue Communication Discourse from the Perspective of Discourse Semantics
An analytical framework for cross-border law enforcement emergency rescue communication is constructed based on the discourse semantic system from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics and language hierarchy.This framework is used to analyze the discourse semantic features and lexical-grammatical characteristics of various stages of foreign-related emergency rescue communication in police services.The results show that each stage of the foreign-related police emergency rescue communication genre can be realized by the discourse semantic systems of ideation,conjunction,appraisal,negotiation,identification and periodicity;and lexicogrammar resources conveying ideational,interpersonal and textual meanings at linguistic level,can strengthen the discourse features of accuracy,rapidity,clarity and pacification in the emergency rescue communication.Enhancing the police's foreign language proficiency in terms of narrative,negotiation,composition and survival is conducive to the construction of a more efficient communication mode for foreign-related police emergency rescue.This research is hoped to provide linguistic support for improving the emergency foreign language service ability in China.
