摘要

困惑的语言表达(如perplexing、puzzling、confusing)是学术作者构建知识、增强说服力和促进研究的重要词汇语法资源。本文采用框架语义方法,研究了男性和女性学者之间,以及核心国家(即英语国家、西欧和北欧国家)(这些国家代表着学术出版的主导地位、权力和资源)的作者与外围国家(即其余国家)的作者之间在使用此类表达时是否存在差异。通过对 4 个学科的 640 篇研究文章进行抽样分析,并对 16 位学科专家进行半结构式访谈,发现作者在科学交流中使用混淆语言表达时存在多种性别和地域差异。这些观察到的差异可归因于女性和外围学者在学科群体中的代表性不足,以及她们在特定环境中形成的认识论定位和学术素养。

“This is perplexing because…”: Examining the impact of gender and geo-academic location on expressions of confusion in research articles

Linguistic expressions of confusion (e.g., perplexing, puzzling, confusing) are important lexico-grammatical resources for academic authors to construct knowledge, enhance persuasion, and promote their research. Drawing on a frame-semantic approach, this paper examined whether the deployment of such expressions differed between male and female academics and between authors based in the Core countries (i.e., Anglophone countries, Western and North European countries), which represent the locus of dominance, power and resource in scholarly publishing, and their counterparts affiliated with the Periphery ones (i.e., the remaining countries). The analyses of 640 research articles sampled from 4 disciplines and semi-structured interviews with 16 disciplinary experts revealed multiple gender- and location-based differences in authors’ use of linguistic expressions of confusion for scientific communication. These observed differences can be attributed to the female and Periphery-based academics’ underrepresentation in the disciplinary community as well as the epistemological positioning and academic literacies that they developed in their particular contexts.

期刊介绍: Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
