摘要
随着中国经济的发展和居民生活水平的提高,红酒这个代表高生活品质的物
品也进入了百姓日常生活中。在各地的超市中,都开出了专门的红酒区,向人们
提供国内外品牌的红酒。经笔者发现,中外红酒背标中的酒品介绍部分不尽相同,
差异尽显,反映出不同国家之间的社会文化差异。透过红酒背标中酒品介绍部分
分析,将有助于更加深入了解不同国家的社会文化,同时将对今后葡萄酒的出口
起到积极意义。据国际葡萄与葡萄酒局2010年调查显示,美国是世界红酒消费
额最大的国家,并且具有最大的消费潜力。了解美国红酒背标酒品介绍特点
和美
国社会文化特点将有助于了解美国消费者的特点,对中国葡萄酒品牌日后成功打
入美国市场和创作针对美国消费者的红酒背标提供可能的建议。
本文所选取的语料来自中国和美国大型超市红酒区的红酒背标,因此所选话
语能较好地反映大众消费的红酒品牌,因而能更准确地反映该国的社会文化和大
众的消费心理。
本文运用批评性话语分析理论进行研究,且利用Fairclough的三项度模型
为分析框架,分别从文本、话语和社会文化层面分析语料的主
选择、语义关系
和社会文化差别。通过分析得出以下结论:
在文本层面,中美红酒酒品介绍在主题选择上差异明显,美国酒品介绍主要
涉及酒庄 气候、历史 、手工酿制技术、口感、具体搭配食品、该红酒官方网
站和以及在介绍最后直接的消费邀请等。中国酒品介绍主要涉及红酒的
机械酿制技术、口感、营养要素已经馈赠亲友作用等。在话语实践层面,英语使
用了更多的对比、递进以及转折等语义关系词;在社会实践层面,美国更接近于
Hall和Hofstede提出的低语境、低权利距离、个人主义、低不确定性规避;中
国更接近于Hall和Hofstede提出的高语境、高权利距离、集体主义、高不确定
性规避。
本文最后根据所得结论给中国红酒生产商提出可能的建议,在对美国出
口
时,尽量针对美国消费者和社会文化特征,向美国本土的酒品介绍靠拢,减
少对
美国消费者的文化冲击,以提高红酒出口额和出口利润。
