Abstract

Pornography is commonly criticized for allegedly representing and promoting sexual dominance of men over women. Studies have shown varying results, with no scientific consensus reached on the matter. To contribute to the discussion with empirical discourse analysis evidence, I examine the linguistic choices reflected in a corpus of erotic novels to test whether there are gendered patterns of agency in the representation of sexual interactions. The construal of prominence is correlated to the notion of agency to find which participant specifies the trajector status and agent role in every relational expression. Results show that male participants take prominence over females in an overwhelming majority of the cases, while expressions with plural agency are marginal. The approach of this paper, combining cognitive grammar with linguistic participation roles, provides comprehensive and realistic results by attempting to operationalize agency as the linguistic expression of a particular cognitive pathway.

色情作品通常被批评为代表和促进男性对女性的性支配。研究显示了不同的结果,在这个问题上没有达成科学共识。为了用经验话语分析的证据来促进讨论,我研究了情色小说语料库中反映的语言选择,以测试在性互动的表现中是否存在代理的性别模式。将显著性解释与代理概念相关联,以找出哪个参与者在每个关系表达中指定了轨迹状态和代理角色。结果表明,在绝大多数情况下,男性参与者比女性参与者更突出,而多元代理的表达则处于边缘地位。本文的方法将认知语法与语言参与角色相结合,试图将代理作为特定认知途径的语言表达进行操作,从而提供了全面而现实的结果。
