Abstract

This paper investigates the language of legitimation considering a number of open letters published by the pressure group Scientist Rebellion (SR) to address sustainability issues. The questions this paper seeks to address include the following: Which legitimation strategies did the authors of the open letters examined make use of to buttress their arguments? Did these resources serve a legitimatory function, a delegitimising function against adversaries, or both? Are the open letters under investigation characterized by legitimising mechanisms that are specific to this genre? Using van Leeuwen’s theoretical framework, a number of legitimation strategies are identified, which were put in place by SR representatives to raise awareness of questions concerning sustainable development (SD) and to seek public consent in relation to their proposals.

可持续发展(SD)话语中的替代声音:科学家反叛(SR)案例
本文考虑到压力集团科学家叛乱(SR)为解决可持续性问题而发表的一些公开信,研究了合法化的语言。本文试图解决的问题包括:所审查的公开信的作者使用了哪些合法化策略来支持他们的论点?这些资源的作用是合法的,还是对抗对手的不合法的,还是两者兼而有之?正在调查的公开信是否具有这种类型特有的合法化机制?利用van Leeuwen的理论框架,作者确定了一些合法化策略,这些策略由SR代表实施,以提高对可持续发展(SD)问题的认识,并寻求公众对其建议的同意。
