Abstract

Faced with the gradual rise of neofascist parties in Europe, the present paper looks back at the past to analyse a speech delivered by one of the founding fathers of the European Union, namely Alcide De Gasperi. The investigation is part of a broader project on the analysis of Italian antifascist discourse. The speech that De Gasperi delivered at the 1946 Paris Peace Conference is reconstructed with the help of the pragma-dialectical model of a critical discussion, focusing on the passages in which the speaker dealt with Italy’s non-fascist identity and its wrong perception by the audience. Emphasis is laid on the argumentative pattern underlying De Gasperi’s discourse and the argumentative style characterising his address. Moreover, reference is made to the notion of argumentative equivalence to examine the translation of De Gasperi’s speech into English; published in the New York Times the day after he delivered his address, it cast a shadow over the impartiality of the drafters of the English version of the speech, which nevertheless managed to go down to history as an argumentative classic.
1946年加斯佩里在巴黎和会上的讲话中关于保卫反法西斯意大利的问题
面对欧洲新法西斯主义政党的逐渐崛起,本文回顾过去,分析欧盟创始人之一阿尔西德·德·加斯佩里的一次演讲。这项调查是分析意大利反法西斯话语的一个更广泛项目的一部分。本文借助批判讨论的实用-辩证模式,重构了德·加斯佩里在1946年巴黎和会上的演讲,重点关注演讲者处理意大利非法西斯身份及其被听众误解的段落。重点放在德·加斯佩里话语的论证模式和他演讲的论证风格上。此外,本文还引用论证对等的概念来考察德·加斯佩里演讲的英译;这篇演讲稿在他发表演讲的第二天发表在《纽约时报》上,给演讲稿英文版起草者的公正性蒙上了一层阴影,尽管如此,演讲稿还是作为辩论经典被载入史册。
