Abstract

The present paper aims at reconstructing, analyzing, and explaining the framing of the situation at the Polish-Belarusian border in 2021 and early 2022 by Poland’s two most influential television stations: the state-controlled right-wing TVP and the commercial left-liberal TVN. The main analytical approach used in this study was Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA). It is a branch of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) that pays special attention to the sociopolitical contexts, allowing the researcher to go beyond purely linguistic analyses and focus on (both micro and meso) sociological implications. Therefore, the study analyzed the discourses through the lenses of securitization and embedding the findings into a broader discussion about migration in Poland. The paper demonstrates that the coverage of the events by both stations was radically different: the state television largely reproduced the discourse of the then ruling party, whereas the liberal TVN focused on the delegitimization of the then government and the border guard, accusing them of violating international law.

非法移民泛滥还是政府挑起的人道主义危机--对波兰两家主要媒体报道策略的混合方法比较分析

本文旨在重构、分析和解释波兰两家最具影响力的电视台（国家控制的右翼电视台 TVP 和商业性的左翼自由电视台 TVN）对 2021 年和 2022 年初波兰-白俄罗斯边境局势的描述。本研究采用的主要分析方法是话语-历史方法（DHA）。它是批判性话语分析（CDA）的一个分支，特别关注社会政治背景，使研究人员能够超越纯粹的语言分析，关注（微观和中观）社会学影响。因此，本研究通过安全化的视角对这些话语进行了分析，并将研究结果嵌入到有关波兰移民问题的更广泛讨论中。论文表明，两家电视台对事件的报道截然不同：国家电视台在很大程度上再现了当时执政党的言论，而自由派的 TVN 则侧重于将当时的政府和边防军非法化，指责他们违反了国际法。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
