일본 신문 사설의 언어 프레임 분석- 일본국 헌법 개정 논의를 중심으로 -

The purpose of this paper is to look at Japan’s conservative and progressive newspapers’ stand in their editorials and how they persuade readers by forming frames in language. In this paper, editorial dealing with the issue of constitutional amendment was used as the subject of analysis. I break it down into a three-step reading configuration and analyze each frame and persuasion strategy around a language representation. In the first level of reading (headline and subheadline browsing), the Yomiuri created a frame called a neglectful constitutional council and urged prompt discussion. However, the Asahi emphasized opposition by using keywords criticizing the constitutional amendment itself. In the second level of reading (headline and lead or synopsis reading), Yomiuri formed a frame that change is good, and the existing constitution is old-fashioned and used it as a persuasive strategy. In the case of Asahi, it diverted reader's attention from constitutional amendment. In the case of the last level (reading all the contents of the editorial), the two newspapers differed considerably on the current constitution and constitutional amendment. I recognize the bias in editorials through language expressions and instigation methods of it.
