摘要

批判性话语分析的一个核心原则是,大众消费话语中的语言往往渗透着对构成社会的不同社会群体的某些意识形态、假设和知识特征的再现和/或抵制。其中一个最好的例子是,尼日利亚的新闻标题讲述了危机驱动的国家话语,几乎所有的国家话语都受到某些固有的意识形态和政治权力的驱动。在本文中,我们提出了一个话语链原则,揭示了尼日利亚大多数国家话语中参与者(包括代理人和接受者)和过程的潜在社会心理特质。本文将语料库方法中的概念与批评语篇分析相结合,提出了一种将意识形态以符号形式进行操作的基本方法。本文运用语料分析方法对尼日利亚报纸中抽取的761个牧民新闻标题进行分析,很好地说明了这些新闻标题在多大程度上将手头的话语(即牧民危机)转移到话语周围。这种运动是通过再现围绕身份政治(种族)、宗教、国家问题、腐败、公民不信任和政治权力失衡的制度化意识形态模式来实现的。本文认为,这种话语运动往往是由一系列定义国家存在的话语所驱动的。

Discursive Chain and Movement in Crisis-Driven Nigerian Political Discourse: Corpus Evidence from Herdsmen Newspaper Headlines
A central tenet of critical discourse analysis spells that language in discourse meant for mass consumption is often permeated with a reproduction and/or a resistance of certain ideologies, assumptions, and knowledge characteristic of different social groups making up the society. One of such best scenarios is news headlines narrating crisis- driven national discourse in Nigeria, where almost all national discourses are driven by certain inherent ideologies and political power. In this paper, we propose a discourse chain principle uncovering the underlying socio-psychological idiosyncrasies of the par- ticipants (inclusive of agents and recipients) and processes in most national discourses in Nigeria. Combining concepts in corpus methods with critical discourse analysis, the paper shows a basic approach to operationalising ideologies in notational form. Apply- ing corpus analytic method to 761 herdsmen news headlines extracted from Nigerian newspapers, the present paper nicely illustrates the extent to which these news headlines move the discourse-at-hand (i.e. herdsmen crisis) to discourse-around. Such movement is performed by reproducing institutionalised ideological patterns revolving around identity politics (ethnicity), religion, question of nationhood, corruption, citizenry distrust, and political power imbalance. The paper argues that this discursive movement is often driven by a chain of discourse that defines the existence of the nationhood.
