Abstract

This paper examines the sociolinguistic practices of a particular scientific and discourse community. To that end, I analyze seminars delivered by PhD students of astronomy at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Astronomy (located in Córdoba, Argentina, and associated with the National Scientific and Technical Research Council, and the National University of Córdoba). The main assumption guiding this research is that these seminars constitute relevant instances in the incorporation of a specific scientific and linguistic habitus during the process of academic socialization of doctorates. From a sociolinguistic perspective, I outline two main traits from within the discourse of these early career astronomers: the paper-like structure of their oral presentations (an indicator of the prevalence of writing as the dominant mode of scientific communication, as shown by the transfer of written stylistic conventions into spoken language), and the naturalization of the presence and use of the English language through creative translingual practices.
阿根廷天文学家话语中的社会语言学和译语实践
本文考察了一个特定的科学和话语社区的社会语言学实践。为此,我分析了理论和实验天文学研究所(位于阿根廷Córdoba,与国家科学技术研究委员会和Córdoba国立大学有关联)天文学博士生所举办的研讨会。指导本研究的主要假设是,这些研讨会构成了在博士学术社会化过程中纳入特定科学和语言习惯的相关实例。从社会语言学的角度来看,我从这些早期职业天文学家的话语中概述了两个主要特征:他们口头陈述的纸状结构(书面风格惯例向口语的转移表明,写作作为科学交流的主要模式普遍存在),以及通过创造性的翻译实践将英语的存在和使用归化。
