Abstract

Language reflects ideology. Based on the self-built corpora, and by means of ANTCONC3.2.4, and from angles of words frequency, keywords, clusters, collocates and semantic prosody , the paper makes a critical analysis of the news discourse related to “the Belt & Road” Initiative in the British and American mainstream media. The result shows that for different reasons, the British and American mainstream media differ from each other in discourse mode, reporting styles and ideological tendency and that there are prejudice, hegemony and implicit discourse control hidden behind the news discourse. 

Keywords: British and American mainstream media; “the Belt & Road ” Initiative；corpus; CDA（critical discourse analysis)
