5、 Chinese Government Work Reports (GWR) from 1978 to 2016, the present study attempts to give an account of parody use in political writings such as GWR, using Pragmatic Markedness Value (PMV) and the Convergence-EconomyCONTENT, Variation-Effectiveness and Relevance (CEVER) model for parody proposed
6、by Hou (2015) as the research tool. The findings are as follows: FINDINGS(1) Parodies in GWR are seen more and more often over 39 years. (2) Parody in GWR has achieved higher and higher PMV since the reform and opening-up, which means parodies in GWR are more and more well-formed. (3) Of four types
7、of parody (word parody, phrase parody, sentence parody, paragraph parody), word parody is used much more often than other three in GWR. (4) Once used for the first time, the parodier in GWR tends to be mimetically used, more and more unmarked. (5) The reason to explain the increasing use of parody i
8、n 39 GWR is that the speakers/writers are trying to gain marked effects and communicative value by using parodies more frequently.Keywords: rhetoric; parody; political writings; Government Work Reports; pragmatic markedness value摘要：本文从1978年至2016年共39篇国务院政府工作报告中共搜集到46处仿拟, 基于对这些仿拟的定量与定性分析, 该研究试图以语用标记值作
9、为量化工具，借用侯国金 (2015) 提出的同省异效关模型作为研究工具，对国务院政府工作报告这种政论文体中的仿拟进行解释与评估，得到如下发现：(1) 39年来仿拟在国务院政府工作报告中出现的次数呈上升趋势；(2) 改革开放至今，政府工作报告中仿拟的语用标记值呈上升趋势，亦即其仿拟的良构性在逐渐增强；(3) 在四种仿拟类别 (仿词、仿语、仿句、仿篇) 中，仿词在国务院政府工作报告中比其它三种类别出现地更多；(4) 仿体在政府工作报告出现过一次以后越来越趋向于被重复使用，也越来越具有无标记性；(5) 仿拟在政府工作报告中被使用得越来越频繁，这是因为言者 (作者) 想要获取“标记效果”以及“交际价值

Introduction1.1 Research BackgroundParody, as a figure of speech, has long existed in human history, viewed by Rossen-Knill et al. (1997) as a human behavior. Parody has been increasingly used

These previous studies do provide myriad research dimensions to view this figure of speech, but most of them, especially those in recent years, focused on the parody in advertising.
