In the wake of global environmental change, China’s focus on ecological civilization has intensified. Political leaders’ ecological thoughts are predominantly manifested through language, such as ecological metaphors within ecopolitical discourse, and their authoritative statements are disseminated by other political entities across various platforms. This study presents a refined framework for metaphor change analysis, aiming to examine how the ‘Life Community’ metaphor is communicated in Chinese government microblogs. Results show that the ‘Life Community’ metaphor undergoes transformations on the linguistic level, forming a continuum of metaphor change that spans from incremental change to fundamental change. Furthermore, the beneficial ecological orientation of the metaphor does not change in communication. Two new modes of fundamental changes are identified for the first time, including changing the source domain into the target domain, and integrating the source domain with the target domain. This study offers valuable insights into the role of eco-metaphors in Chinese ecopolitical discourse.
在全球环境变化的背景下,中国对生态文明的重视程度不断加强。政治领导人的生态思想主要通过语言来体现,如生态政治话语中的生态隐喻,而他们的权威言论则由其他政治实体在各种平台上传播。本研究提出了一个完善的隐喻变化分析框架,旨在研究 "生命共同体 "隐喻在中国政府微博中的传播方式。研究结果表明,"生命共同体 "隐喻在语言层面发生了变化,形成了从渐进变化到根本变化的隐喻变化连续体。此外,隐喻的有益生态导向在交流中并没有改变。研究首次发现了两种新的根本性变化模式,包括将源域变为目标域,以及将源域与目标域整合。本研究为生态隐喻在中国生态政治话语中的作用提供了有价值的见解。

As the early generation of left-behind children (LBC) in China transition into adulthood and integrate into society, there is a pressing need to understand their experiences beyond the limited scope of existing research. While existing studies have predominantly focused on the short-term and long-term effects of left-behind experiences on children, there exists a notable research gap concerning grown-up LBC. This study addresses this gap by employing the corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) to examine the discourse of grown-up LBC on social media. By utilizing Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, collocation and concordance analysis, and the ecological systems theory, this study unveils the challenges and opportunities encountered by grown-up LBC, along with their underlying reasons. The findings reveal a myriad of challenges experienced during their left-behind childhood, including material poverty, inadequate parental care, peer bullying, and deficiencies in family and school education. These challenges have been found to contribute to poor psychological well-being, weakened sense of family, distant relationships with parents, and difficulties in forming intimate connections for grown-up LBC. Significantly, the study also uncovers potential positive outcomes, such as the development of self-esteem, independence, and maturity. Moreover, the research highlights the intricate interactions among microsystems, mesosystems, exosystems, and macrosystems, collectively influencing the growth and development of LBC. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex factors influencing the lives of grown-up LBC.
随着中国早一代留守儿童(LBC)长大成人并融入社会,迫切需要在现有研究的有限范围之外了解他们的经历。现有研究主要关注留守经历对儿童的短期和长期影响,而对成年留守儿童的研究则存在明显的空白。本研究采用语料库辅助话语研究(CADS)来研究社交媒体上的成人留守儿童话语,从而弥补了这一空白。本研究利用潜狄利克特分配(LDA)主题建模、搭配和一致性分析以及生态系统论,揭示了成年人 LBC 所遇到的挑战和机遇,以及其背后的原因。研究结果揭示了留守儿童在童年时期所经历的各种挑战,包括物质贫困、父母关爱不足、同伴欺凌、家庭和学校教育缺失等。研究发现,这些挑战导致成年留守儿童心理状况不佳、家庭感减弱、与父母关系疏远,以及难以建立亲密联系。值得注意的是,这项研究也发现了潜在的积极成果,如自尊心、独立性和成熟度的发展。此外,研究还强调了微观系统、中观系统、外在系统和宏观系统之间错综复杂的相互作用,共同影响着 LBC 的成长和发展。研究结果有助于加深对影响成年 LBC 生活的复杂因素的理解。

Locative media in the context of travel apps alter the representations of space. However, locative media technologies, more specifically travel apps, do not neutrally mediate travelscapes. Rather, they produce a complex surveillance apparatus in which users and the interface algorithm interactionally assembled. To this end, the study argues that travel apps stand as assemblage interventions which regulate the accessibility of travelscapes and reconfigure the travel experience of cities. Informed by this, TripAdvisor touristscape is examined and interpreted in the current study as a surveillant assemblage of technology-human entextualization practices. The surveillance system in TripAdvisor draws upon particular dialectic, ordered and operationalized discourses and their entextualized recontextualization/decontextualization in various social contexts. Such de/recontextualization oscillations are accompanied by a process of semiotic change, which in turn, produces dynamically surveilled spaces and regulated travel experiences. The authors outline three surveillance repertoires that are found to be prevalent in their interaction with TripAdvisor: ‘a decorporealized user’, ‘gamifying the travel experience’ and ‘algorithm performative surveillance’. The analytical approach adopted in current study helps in opening discourse studies to the analysis of the travel apps as surveillant apparatus.
旅行应用程序中的定位媒体改变了空间的表征。然而,定位媒体技术,更具体地说是旅行应用程序,并不是中立地调解旅行景观。相反,它们产生了一种复杂的监控装置,用户和界面算法在其中互动组合。为此,本研究认为,旅游应用程序作为一种集合干预措施,调节了旅游景观的可及性,并重构了城市的旅游体验。受此启发,本研究将 TripAdvisor 的旅游景观视为技术-人类文本化实践的监控集合体,对其进行研究和解释。TripAdvisor 的监控系统利用了特定的辩证、有序和可操作的话语及其在各种社会语境中的内文化再内文化/去内文化。这种 "去语境化"/"重语境化 "的摇摆伴随着符号学的变化过程,反过来又产生了动态的监控空间和规范的旅行体验。作者概述了他们在与 TripAdvisor 的互动中发现的三种监控模式:"装饰化用户"、"游戏化旅行体验 "和 "算法表演式监控"。本研究采用的分析方法有助于开启话语研究,将旅游应用程序作为监控工具进行分析。

The ‘pathologically state dependent’ versus ‘middle-aged ministers on mammoth salaries’: The legitimation contest over a 2013 austerity measure in the Republic of Ireland 病态的国家依赖者 "与 "拿着巨额薪水的中年部长":爱尔兰共和国 2013 年紧缩措施的合法性之争

This paper provides a discourse analysis of the political and media debate surrounding a 2013 austerity measure that targeted unemployed young people in the Republic of Ireland. Applying Van Leeuwen’s ‘justificatory schema’ it reveals the legitimation of this measure relied on an ‘anti-welfare populist’ framing of the young unemployed as ‘welfare dependent’ and thus ‘undeserving’. Furthermore, this analysis finds that those opposed to this austerity measure sought to de-legitimate it and to re-legitimate the young unemployed. At times by singling out alternative ‘undeserving’ figures to be targeted with austerity in their place. This process thus remained open to contestation and resignification, albeit in a manner that failed to challenge the underlying political-economic logic at play. The antagonistic framings revealed by these findings complicate the emphasis on ‘de-politicisation’ in the pre-existing literature using discourse analysis methods to investigate the legitimation of austerity.
本文对围绕 2013 年爱尔兰共和国针对失业青年的紧缩措施展开的政治和媒体辩论进行了话语分析。运用范-李欧文(Van Leeuwen)的 "正当化模式",本文揭示了该措施的正当化依赖于 "反福利民粹主义 "的框架,即认为失业青年 "依赖福利",因此 "不值得"。此外,本分析还发现,反对这项紧缩措施的人试图将其合法化,并将青年失业者重新合法化。有时,他们会挑出其他 "不值得 "的人,代替他们成为紧缩措施的目标。因此,这一过程仍然存在争议和辞职的可能性,尽管其方式未能挑战潜在的政治经济逻辑。这些研究结果所揭示的对立框架,使已有文献中强调的 "去政治化"(de-politicisation)变得更加复杂,这些文献使用了话语分析方法来研究紧缩政策的合法性。

Applying discourse analysis, this paper scrutinizes disputants’ discourses in Chinese family mediation, with an aim to reveal how evaluations are employed to manifest their intentions. By adopting a mixed method combining qualitative and quantitative methods, this article analyzes the transcriptions of six authentic recordings of family mediation sessions in Chinese mainland. The results indicate that, first, three categories of evaluations encoding intentions are identified in disputants’ discourses including ethical evaluation, affective evaluation, and informative evaluation; second, disputants’ particular intentions are decoded by their evaluations expressed through specific semantic forms. Additionally, these evaluations conveying varied intentions, are deeply motivated by Chinese socio-cultural values of mianzi (face), renqing (emotion), and guanxi (relationship).
本文运用话语分析的方法,对中国家事调解中纠纷当事人的话语进行了研究,旨在揭示如何运用评价来体现其意图。本文采用定性与定量相结合的混合方法,分析了中国大陆家事调解过程中的六段真实录音。结果表明:首先,在争议者的话语中可以发现三类编码意图的评价,包括道德评价、情感评价和信息评价;其次,争议者的特定意图是通过其通过特定语义形式表达的评价来解码的。此外,这些表达不同意图的评价深受中国社会文化价值观的影响,即面子、人情和关系。

‘Which would be more democratic? Allowing them the opportunity to change their mind or pressing on regardless’: A discursive psychological study of arguments for and against calls for a second Brexit referendum 哪种做法更民主?让他们有机会改变主意,还是不顾一切地坚持下去":对支持和反对二次脱欧公投的论点的辨证心理学研究

Parliamentary debates are beneficial political environments to study using discourse analysis and discursive psychology. However, there is limited discursive psychological research analysing arguments for and against the possibility of a second referendum concerning the UK’s EU membership status. We collected our data by transcribing a parliamentary debate where politicians discussed a second referendum and analysed it using a discursive psychological framework. Whether they supported leave or remain, politicians discredit their opposing position for supposedly lacking democratic values. As such, politicians portrayed their stances on Brexit as a requirement to uphold democratic principles. The main implication of the analysis demonstrated that politicians defined democracy depending on the positions they took regarding calls for a second Brexit referendum. The present study contributes to the growing discursive literature on Brexit discourse by showing how the meaning of democracy is contested and used as a tool to manage accountability.
议会辩论是利用话语分析和话语心理学进行研究的有利政治环境。然而,对支持和反对就英国的欧盟成员国地位举行第二次公投的论点进行分析的话语心理学研究却很有限。我们通过抄录政治家们讨论二次公投的议会辩论来收集数据,并使用话语心理学框架对其进行分析。无论支持脱欧还是留欧,政治家们都会诋毁对方的立场,认为其缺乏民主价值。因此,政治家们将其对英国脱欧的立场描述为维护民主原则的要求。分析的主要含义表明,政治家们对民主的定义取决于他们对要求举行第二次脱欧公投所持的立场。本研究显示了民主的含义是如何受到争议并被用作管理问责制的工具的,从而为有关英国脱欧话语的不断增长的话语文献做出了贡献。

Religion is a main characteristic of Nigerian identity and influences the algorithm of its public life. The study explores online religious othering in Nigeria’s electoral discourse. The study utilises a critical discourse analytic approach and examines a dataset of over 14,000 Facebook comments from Nigerians from different religious groups. The analysis revealed that religious othering in the electoral discourse was indexed using three major strategies, namely: demonisation, ingroup ostracisation and stereotyping. The study demonstrates, among others, an emergent intra-religious discord in the online electoral discourse, mainly among the Christian group. Members who displayed favouritism to an outgroup cause, in this case, the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, are framed as Other. They are denied the membership of being a Christian. The study concludes with imperative advocacy for the cultivation of critical religious tolerance, a model and practice for engendering a respectful and inclusive political environment beyond religious affiliations.
宗教是尼日利亚人身份的一个主要特征,并影响着其公共生活的算法。本研究探讨了尼日利亚选举话语中的在线宗教他者化。研究采用批判性话语分析方法,对来自不同宗教团体的尼日利亚人在 Facebook 上发表的 14,000 多条评论数据集进行了研究。分析表明,选举话语中的宗教他者化以三种主要策略为索引,即:妖魔化、群体内排斥和刻板印象。研究结果表明,在线选举话语中出现了宗教内部的不和谐,主要是在基督教群体中。偏袒外群体事业的成员(在本例中为穆斯林-穆斯林总统候选人)被诬陷为 "他者"。他们被剥夺了作为基督徒的成员资格。本研究的结论是,必须倡导培养批判性的宗教宽容,这是营造超越宗教信仰的尊重和包容的政治环境的一种模式和做法。

The discourse of social mobility has become a central tenet of democratic societies worldwide. Commonly deployed as a panacea for inequality and source of social justice, the discourse can conceal and even perpetuate inequalities. Intertwined with neoliberal ideology, social mobility discourse is contextually contingent, manifesting differently according to local conditions. This paper critically analyses social mobility discourse in the Indonesian context through ‘rags to riches’ stories of female celebrities in media interviews. Applying a contextually sensitive approach to agency within a CDA framework, this paper contributes new knowledge to the study of social mobility discourse in the Global South. The findings illustrate the pervasiveness of neoliberalism and its coalescence with local ideologies of gender, class and place, and how upwardly mobile women deploy ideological resources to create a mobility niche. The discourse strategies they use legitimise their mobility but reproduce unequal relations of power, undermining the objectives of social mobility.
社会流动性言论已成为全世界民主社会的核心信条。社会流动性通常被当作解决不平等问题的灵丹妙药和社会正义的源泉,但它也可能掩盖甚至延续不平等现象。社会流动性话语与新自由主义意识形态交织在一起,因地制宜,表现各异。本文通过媒体采访中女性名人 "白手起家 "的故事,批判性地分析了印尼语境下的社会流动话语。本文在综合分析框架内运用了对语境敏感的代理方法,为研究全球南部的社会流动话语贡献了新的知识。研究结果表明了新自由主义的普遍性及其与当地性别、阶级和地域意识形态的融合,以及向上流动的女性是如何利用意识形态资源来创造流动利基的。她们使用的话语策略使她们的流动合法化,但却复制了不平等的权力关系,破坏了社会流动的目标。
