Abstract

This study examines how climate change organizations employ discourse strategies to highlight the vulnerability of women to climate change. It also explores how these strategies disrupt the conventional climate change narrative by integrating gender issues and emphasizing women's social and cultural experiences. The study utilizes the framework of ecolinguistics to examine narratives woven into the textual discourse. The research, based on 40 tweets from organizations such as the UN Environment Program and UN Women, offers insights into how these organizations utilize ecolinguistic techniques in communicating climate issues. The findings of the study revealed that gender intersections with other social identities determine vulnerabilities to environmental changes, as the research highlights the disproportionate impacts on women, especially those from marginalized backgrounds. This study contributes to the existing literature in terms of exploring the depiction of this issue in the Twitter discourse of international organizations.

塑造脆弱性:性别与气候变化话语的生态语言分析
本研究探讨了气候变化组织如何运用话语策略来强调妇女在气候变化中的脆弱性。研究还探讨了这些策略如何通过整合性别问题和强调妇女的社会和文化经历来打破常规的气候变化叙事。本研究利用生态语言学的框架来研究文本话语中交织的叙事。研究以联合国环境规划署和联合国妇女署等组织的 40 条推文为基础,深入探讨了这些组织在传播气候问题时如何利用生态语言学技术。研究结果表明,性别与其他社会身份的交叉决定了面对环境变化时的脆弱性,因为研究强调了对女性,尤其是那些来自边缘化背景的女性造成的不成比例的影响。本研究为现有文献探索国际组织 Twitter 话语中对这一问题的描述做出了贡献。
