Abstract

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of the word culture in selected co-texts and contexts with negative connotations in the OED online The OED (Oxford English Dictionary) online (from now on OED, unless when it is necessary to specify “online”) “is a work in progress. Hundreds of new entries are added every year […] with the aim of producing a completely updated third edition”. https://www.oed.com/page/245; see also https://public.oed.com/how-words-enter-the-oed/. Last access: June 7, 2023. 21st-century definitions, phrases, compounds, and quotations. The study was prompted by the use of the words oriental and especially culture in a few comments following the August 2022 announcement of the Oxford Faculty of Oriental Studies name change to the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies: this new name was selected because “many [staff and students] considered the word Oriental to be inappropriate”. (https://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/article/announcing-a-change-of-name-to-the-faculty-of-asian-and-middle-eastern-studies). Last access: September 23, 2022. Alongside the word oriental, the word culture, significantly absent in the announcement, is used in various comments carrying a negative connotation. Research findings indicate that in several OED Phrases and Quotations the word culture is used in the same co-text as words that have a negative connotation. These words give (or “pass on”) their negative connotation (and/or “inappropriateness”, according to the context) to the word culture itself.
OED 在线短语和语录中的文化
摘要 本文旨在研究文化一词在选定的共同语境和《牛津英语词典》在线版中具有负面含义的语境中的使用情况。《牛津英语词典》在线版(以下简称 "OED",除非有必要指明 "在线")"是一项正在进行中的工作。每年都会增加数百个新词条[......],目的是制作完全更新的第三版"。https://www.oed.com/page/245;另见 https://public.oed.com/how-words-enter-the-oed/。最后访问日期:最后访问日期:2023 年 6 月 7 日。21 世纪的定义、短语、复合词和引语。2022 年 8 月牛津大学东方研究学院宣布更名为亚洲与中东研究学院后,一些评论中使用了 "东方"(oriental)和 "文化"(culture)这两个词,从而引发了这项研究:之所以选择这个新名称,是因为 "许多[教职员工和学生]认为东方一词不合适"。(https://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/article/announcing-a-change-of-name-to-the-faculty-of-asian-and-middle-eastern-studies).最后访问日期:最后访问日期:2022 年 9 月 23 日。除 "东方 "一词外,公告中明显缺少的 "文化 "一词也在各种评论中被使用,并带有负面含义。研究结果表明,在《美国教育词典》的一些短语和语录中,文化一词与具有负面含义的词语在同一语境中使用。这些词语将其负面含义(和/或 "不恰当",根据上下文)赋予(或 "传递")了文化一词本身。
