Abstract: This paper reviews the past studies related to appraisal theory and proximization theory. This paper discusses the rationality of integrating appraisal theory and proximization theory from four aspects, that is, value orientation, epistemological basis, analysis of meaning, complementarity. The author argues that the two theories can complement each other and try to establish an analytical framework to point out the possibility for uniting two theories. At the same time, the analysis of the diachronic and synchronic social and cultural contexts from the historical discourse analysis is added to promote the historical gravitas of this study. At last, the author takes the American media’s coverage of China’s 100th anniversary of the Party as an example and conduct a specific analysis, with a view to providing a new attempt for the integration, innovation and development of linguistics under the new liberal arts perspective.
