Drawing on social media context such as Facebook of international students from the Global South – Mongolia – in Australia, this article indicates that the diversity of “languaging” practices of migrants who come to settle in Australia from the Global South are better understood from the perspective of the “normativity of diversity”. The notion of “languaging” is vital in capturing the current complexity of mixed and hybrid language practices fundamentally produced by the amalgamation of linguistic and cultural resources intersecting with Global South and North social, cultural and political landscapes. However, these languaging practices in Australia are neither non-normal nor substandard linguistic productions as mostly imagined in the local monolingual ideology. Instead, languaging practices of the migrants from the Global South in Australia should be understood as part of the new settlers’ normative daily linguistic practices that cut across both online and offline settings. Consequently, it is crucial for language educators and language policy-makers in Australia to reconsider migrants’ linguistic diversity in globalisation through the eyes of the “normativity of diversity”.

本文以全球南方蒙古留学生在澳大利亚的Facebook等社交媒体背景为例,指出从“多样性的规范性”的角度可以更好地理解来自全球南方的移民在澳大利亚定居的“语言”实践的多样性。“语言”的概念对于捕捉当前混合和混合语言实践的复杂性至关重要,这种复杂性根本上是由语言和文化资源与全球南北社会,文化和政治景观交叉的融合所产生的。然而,这些语言实践在澳大利亚既不是不正常的,也不是不合标准的语言产物,大多是在当地的单语意识形态中想象出来的。相反,来自全球南方的移民在澳大利亚的语言实践应该被理解为新定居者的日常规范语言实践的一部分,这些语言实践跨越了线上和线下的环境。因此,对于澳大利亚的语言教育者和语言决策者来说,通过“多样性的规范性”来重新考虑全球化中移民的语言多样性是至关重要的。

“As Tunisian I feel ashamed by this disgusting presenter”: Collective face threat and identity positioning on Facebook “作为突尼斯人,我为这个恶心的主持人感到羞耻”:Facebook上的集体面孔威胁和身份定位

In this paper, I draw on identity theories as developed within social psychology in general, and Positioning Theory in particular, to investigate the discursive strategies that Tunisian Facebookers use to counter collective face threat, and how they position themselves vis-à-vis in-group and out-group members. To categorize the strategies, a post-data collection taxonomy was developed, which allowed for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the comments. Wherever appropriate, the analysis also considered the range of multimodal semiotic means the commentators used to communicate their emotional stances. Results show that Tunisian Facebook users positioned themselves in multiple ways following face threat, and that their perceptions of their and others’ rights and duties resulted in various discursive positioning moves. Results also show that Tunisian Facebookers used linguistic as well as multimodal resources to convey their emotions. Previous intracultural findings about lexemic and interactional aspects of Tunisian face seem to be relevant for intercultural digital communication involving Tunisians as findings of this study illustrate the influence of cultural values on online face concerns and show the importance of considering the wider offline context when accounting for digital discursive practices.

在本文中,我利用一般社会心理学中发展起来的身份理论,特别是定位理论,来研究突尼斯facebook用户用来对抗集体面孔威胁的话语策略,以及他们如何在-à-vis群内和群外成员面前定位自己。为了对这些策略进行分类,制定了数据收集后分类法,允许对评论进行定量和定性分析。在适当的情况下,分析还考虑了多模态符号学手段的范围,评论员用来传达他们的情感立场。结果显示,面对威胁时,突尼西亚脸书使用者会以多种方式定位自己,而他们对自己与他人权利与义务的认知,导致不同的话语定位动作。结果还显示,突尼斯的facebook用户使用语言和多模式资源来传达他们的情绪。先前关于突尼斯面孔词法和互动方面的文化内研究结果似乎与涉及突尼斯人的跨文化数字交流有关,因为本研究的结果说明了文化价值观对在线面孔问题的影响,并显示了在考虑数字话语实践时考虑更广泛的离线背景的重要性。

Radical contingency, radical historicity and the spread of ‘homosexualism’: A diachronic corpus-based critical discourse analysis of queer representation in The Times between 1957–1967 and 1979–1990 激进偶然性、激进历史性与“同性恋主义”的传播:1957-1967年与1979-1990年间《时代》酷儿表现的历时性语料库批评话语分析

This paper suggests that LGBTQI representation in The Times does more than simply construct queer subjects. Rather, by representing a sexualised Other, the language of The Times necessarily indexes the presence of an unmarked heterosexual population. Moreover, while LGBTQI people have historically been criminalised and discriminated against, a comparison between two historical corpora (1957–1967 and 1979–1990) demonstrates that The Times has consistently used language to suggest that the heterosexual population is, in fact, vulnerable to the threat of non-normative desire and sexual practices.

By considering which key phrases and collocations are consistent between the two corpora, it is revealed that the verb spread is used to position heterosexual people as vulnerable to both ‘homosexual conduct’ in the 1960s and the threat of HIV infection in the 1980s. This is significant because of the considerable influence broadsheet newspapers like The Times had on British public discourse during the latter half of the twentieth century. In order to frame the discussion, the analysis is supported by the theories of radical contingency and radical historicity (Laclau and Mouffe, 1985). The former posits that subject positions are necessarily constituted by what they are not while the latter posits that subjectivities available to us in the present are always the result of political processes from the past. The social ontology of discourse theory (Laclau and Mouffe 1985) therefore provides a lens through which to interpret what diachronic newspaper data reveals about how British social attitudes were changing or staying the same during this time.

本文认为,《纽约时报》对LGBTQI的描述不仅仅是简单地构建酷儿主题。相反,通过表现一个性化的他者,时代的语言必然索引了一个未被标记的异性恋人群的存在。此外,尽管LGBTQI人群在历史上一直被定罪并受到歧视,但对两个历史语库(1957-1967和1979-1990)的比较表明,《泰晤士报》一直在使用语言来暗示异性恋人群实际上很容易受到非规范欲望和性行为的威胁。通过考虑两个语料库中哪些关键短语和搭配是一致的,可以发现动词spread在20世纪60年代被用来定位异性恋者容易受到“同性恋行为”的影响,在80年代被用来定位异性恋者容易受到艾滋病毒感染的威胁。这一点很重要,因为像《泰晤士报》这样的大报在20世纪后半叶对英国公共话语产生了相当大的影响。为了构建讨论框架,该分析得到激进权变和激进历史性理论(Laclau and Mouffe, 1985)的支持。前者认为,主体地位必然是由它们所不是的东西构成的,而后者则认为,我们现在所能获得的主体性总是来自过去的政治过程的结果。因此,话语理论的社会本体论(Laclau and Mouffe 1985)提供了一个透镜,通过它来解释历时性报纸数据揭示的英国社会态度在这一时期是如何变化或保持不变的。

Nowadays, the integration of informal, evaluative and entertaining elements in news production is not an uncommon practice in certain types of news genres. Our focus is on such elements expressed innovatively through image-based digital resources (IDRs) borrowed from participatory internet media culture, which include internet memes, emojis, screenshots of TV dramas/movies and digital archives, in social media news reporting. Our case study deals with news reports about sexual assaults by a Chinese official news outlet People.cn on Sina Weibo, one of the largest social media platforms in mainland China. Using the concepts of ‘remediatisation’ and ‘media interdiscursivity’, we unpack the ideological implications of the representation of sexual assaults and the social actors (perpetrators and victims) involved in the cases. Our study shows that the unexpected and innovative use of IDRs by the news media generates particular kinds of affect that result in an ideological ambivalence about sexual assaults and sexual crime reporting.

如今,在某些类型的新闻类型中,将非正式、评价和娱乐元素整合到新闻生产中并不罕见。我们的重点是通过借鉴参与式网络媒体文化的基于图像的数字资源(idr)在社交媒体新闻报道中创新地表达这些元素,这些资源包括网络表情包、表情符号、电视剧/电影截图和数字档案。我们的案例研究涉及中国官方新闻媒体人民网在中国大陆最大的社交媒体平台之一新浪微博上关于性侵犯的新闻报道。利用“补救”和“媒体话语间性”的概念,我们揭示了性侵犯的表现和案件中涉及的社会行动者(肇事者和受害者)的意识形态含义。我们的研究表明,新闻媒体对idr的意外和创新使用产生了特殊的影响,导致对性侵犯和性犯罪报道的意识形态矛盾。

‘Am I being unreasonable to vaccinate my kids against my ex’s wishes?’ – A corpus linguistic exploration of conflict in vaccination discussions on Mumsnet Talk’s AIBU forum “我不顾前任的意愿给孩子接种疫苗是不合理的吗?”——在Mumsnet Talk的AIBU论坛上对疫苗接种讨论中冲突的语料库语言探索

Online parenting forums are popular sources of information about childhood vaccinations, but vaccination discussions, especially online, are often polarised and polarising (Jenkins & Moreno 2020). This can have very real implications for ultimate vaccination decisions (Al-Hasan et al., 2021). Among the most visited parenting forums in the UK is Mumsnet Talk, hosted on the parenting website Mumsnet, which has a reputation for being straight-talking and combative. This supposedly applies particularly to its most popular Talk Topic, Am I being unreasonable?’ (AIBU), which also includes numerous threads related to vaccinations.

In this paper we combine corpus-based methods with qualitative discourse analysis to examine over 6-million words of vaccination-related discussions on 895 threads on AIBU from the inception of Mumsnet in 2000 to May 2021. We provide evidence of a greater presence of confrontation-related language in these threads when compared with similar threads not on AIBU, zooming in on nine keywords that can be used as insults (e.g. ‘idiot’ and ‘bitch’). The use of these keywords reveals the multiple types of conflict at play, including between people with opposing and similar vaccine stances. While some insults are directed at each other within the forum, the majority are directed at external third parties, often the protagonists at the heart of offline conflicts detailed in the original post of an AIBU thread. We show that, although these insults perform impoliteness towards external third parties potentially perpetuating conflict that predates any posting on the forum, they simultaneously have a supportive and community enhancing function within the threads. We reflect on the implications of our findings for the role of AIBU as a point of reference and site of interaction for parents facing vaccination-related issues and decisions.

在线育儿论坛是关于儿童疫苗接种的流行信息来源,但关于疫苗接种的讨论,特别是在网上,往往是两极分化和两极分化的(Jenkins &莫雷诺2020)。这可能对最终的疫苗接种决策产生非常实际的影响(al - hasan等人,2021年)。英国访问量最大的育儿论坛之一是Mumsnet Talk,由育儿网站Mumsnet主办,该网站以直言不讳和好斗著称。这应该特别适用于它最受欢迎的谈话话题:我是不是不讲道理?(AIBU),其中还包括许多与疫苗接种有关的帖子。在本文中,我们将基于语料库的方法与定性话语分析相结合,研究了从2000年Mumsnet成立到2021年5月,AIBU上895个帖子中超过600万字的疫苗相关讨论。我们提供的证据表明,与不在AIBU上的类似帖子相比,这些帖子中存在更多与对抗相关的语言,放大了9个可用作侮辱的关键词(例如“白痴”和“婊子”)。这些关键词的使用揭示了多种类型的冲突,包括持反对和类似疫苗立场的人之间的冲突。虽然有些侮辱是在论坛内针对彼此的,但大多数是针对外部第三方的,通常是AIBU线程原始帖子中详细描述的离线冲突的核心主角。我们表明,尽管这些侮辱行为对外部第三方表现出不礼貌,可能会在论坛上发布任何帖子之前使冲突永久化,但它们同时在线程中具有支持和社区增强功能。我们反思了我们的研究结果对AIBU作为面临疫苗相关问题和决策的父母的参考点和互动场所的作用的影响。

Crafting an audience: UX writing, user stylization, and the symbolic violence of little texts 打造受众:用户体验写作、用户风格化和小文本的象征性暴力

To date, little attention has been paid to how producers of digital media complicate notions of participation and audience in digital media. Taking the work of user experience (UX) writers as a case study, I offer an analytic framework for approaching the conceptual challenges that come with this. The empirical focus of my analysis is an emblematic example of UX writers’ work: the ubiquitous microcopy (i.e. user interface texts) produced for cookie consent notices. Orienting to Jones’s (2020b) work on digital and algorithmic pragmatics, I demonstrate how these “little texts” act in ways which are both agentful and influential. More than a matter of implicit audience design (Bell, 1984), UX writers actively use the affordances of software interfaces for inventing, stylizing, and crafting an audience. It is through this strategic stylizing of users that UX writers produce what Bakhtin (1986) calls a superaddressee. By positioning users in particular ways – and in particular moments – these little, seemingly inconsequential texts of digital media can thus effectively exercise a form of symbolic violence.

迄今为止,很少有人关注数字媒体生产者如何使数字媒体中的参与和受众概念复杂化。以用户体验(UX)作者的工作为例,我提供了一个分析框架来处理随之而来的概念挑战。我分析的经验焦点是用户体验作者工作的一个象征性例子:为cookie同意通知制作的无处不在的微型副本(即用户界面文本)。针对Jones (2020b)在数字和算法语用学方面的研究,我展示了这些“小文本”是如何以代理和影响力的方式发挥作用的。比起隐式用户设计(Bell, 1984),用户体验作者更积极地使用软件界面的功能来创造、设计和塑造用户。用户体验作者正是通过这种对用户的策略性风格化,创造出Bakhtin(1986)所说的超级收件人。通过以特定的方式——在特定的时刻——定位用户,这些看似无关紧要的数字媒体文本可以有效地行使一种象征性的暴力形式。
