Abstract

Big data application offers a new roadmap to study international relations. As an analytical method based on big data, a corpus-based study can help analyze international relations. From the perspective of big data, the American mainstream media represented by the New York Times broadcast plenty of news on China’s climate issue. The study aims to observe how the mainstream media broadcasts relative news? What characteristics it demonstrated in the process of broadcasting? And what are the focuses of relative news? In order to study these questions, the paper gathered the relative news by the LexisNexis, establishing the corpus which included more than 120,000 words. Then the big data software WordSmith 8.0 was used as an instrument to process the corpus words, getting the “word list” (generating the tag cloud), “collocations” and “concordance”. After analyzing the results, some monumental information is worth pointing out, which could benefit to understand the Sino-US climate relation by the perspective of big data software WordSmith 8.0.
