Abstract: This paper is based on cardinal self-established corpora: Chinese News Texts (CNT) and British News Texts (BNT). both consist of news reports from the Guardian and China Daily in January, 2008 on a Chinese domestic vicious slaughter incident, which immediately pushed the trouble makers chengguan (urban management officers) up to the forefront of commonplace attention. With a combined research method of corpus philology and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), three differences in two corpora are revealed. First, British media made mistakes in understanding the spot of chengguan officers. On earliest reports, they even claimed chengguan officers as police officers. Second, on reporting same beating incident, BNT and CNT made a acuate contrast in keywords. British media stimulated strong ostracise moods of readers through aggressive and emotion-driven words. However, Chinese media preferred neutral and bonkers words, trying to cool down public outrage. Third, British media differed a lot in narrative points with Chinese media. Texts in CNT highlighted the matter of government in dealing chengguan issues. On contrary, British media tried and true to relate other negative incidents out of beating itself to daunt Chinese government.
Keywords: chengguan, the Guardian, China Daily, corpora, CDA, keywords comparison
