Abstract
This research paper aims to study Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model for a critical discourse analysis of John Donne's poem "Go and Catch a Falling Star." Rooted in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and building upon Fairclough's critique of Critical Linguistics, the study explores the hidden ideologies and societal attitudes embedded in the text. The poem, published in 1633, presents a satirical examination of women's perceived infidelity, and Fairclough's model serves as a tool to unravel the complexities of its linguistic features, discursive practices, and socio-cultural implications. The analysis reveals anti-feministic undertones within the broader context, where societal norms and power dynamics played a crucial role in shaping discourse. By examining the poem through the three dimensions of Fairclough's model—text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice—the research contributes to a deep understanding of how language choices perpetuate certain perceptions of women and contribute to broader societal narratives during this historical period.
Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Norman Fairclough’s Model, Go and Catch a Falling Star
本研究论文旨在研究诺曼-费尔克拉夫(Norman Fairclough)对约翰-多恩(John Donne)的诗歌《去抓住一颗流星》(Go and Catch a Falling Star)进行批判性话语分析的三维模型。本研究以批判性话语分析(CDA)为基础,以费尔克拉夫对批判性语言学的批评为依据,探讨文本中隐藏的意识形态和社会态度。这首发表于 1633 年的诗歌对女性的不忠行为进行了讽刺性的审视,费尔克拉夫的分析模型可作为一种工具,用于揭示其语言特点、话语实践和社会文化影响的复杂性。分析揭示了更广泛背景下的反女权主义色彩,社会规范和权力动态在形成话语方面发挥了至关重要的作用。通过费尔克拉夫模型的三个维度--文本、话语实践和社会文化实践--对这首诗进行研究,有助于深入理解在这一历史时期,语言选择是如何延续对女性的某些看法并促成更广泛的社会叙事的:批判性话语分析、诺曼-费尔克拉夫模式、去抓住一颗流星
