Stubb (1995) critiques corpus analysis and raises the issue--production and reception model. That is the profession a writer and the convention of the field, and purpose of a writing decide the genre of a text and construct the structure of the text, and the interpretations of the text may vary due to the background of a reader (pp. 10-14). A series of studies show that neither zero-anaphora nor pronominal anaphora is the norm in texts on political issues in newspapers. Writers in journalism prefer repeating the same NP referring to a specific entity. That is reiteration instead of pronominals seems to be the norm in coding and encoding the entity for political issues in newspaper. This tendency of reiteration occurs two-thirds of the all corpus; that is in thirteen out of twenty articles, the distribution of reiteration in each article reaches more than 69%. However, the distribution of third person pronoun, he, in three out of twenty articles only reaches 57% or less. In coding reference of an entity in a short text, only three out of ten slot where a NP or a pronouns should occur, readers prefer third person pronoun, he; though the tendency was not significantly strong, i.e., around 50%, not to the mention the preference for zero-pronouns. |
