Abstract

Abstract Since spring 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has presented an international challenge that requires expert knowledge from a wide variety of disciplines. From the very beginning, virological expertise was particularly in demand in order to advise politicians and to inform the population about the virus, its multiplication rate and its spread as well as typical symptoms of an infection. Virological expertise has been mediated through institutions that specialize in science communication and science journalism (e. g. the Science Media Center Germany in Cologne) and to a large extent through mass media. Against this backdrop, this article explores the demarcation practices of virologists in political talk shows. Our corpus consists of 25 political talk shows which were broadcast on publicly available channels in Germany between March 2020 and April 2021. The article addresses the tensions between the domains of science, politics, and media and demonstrates how virologists try to maintain and defend the borders between these domains. On the basis of interactional linguistics, we analyse the pointing practices of three virologists (Melanie Brinkmann, Alexander Kekulé and Hendrik Streeck) to identify crucial demarcation practices employed.

有序的撤退。政治脱口秀中病毒学家的语言划分

摘要自2020年春季以来，严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型疫情提出了一项国际挑战，需要来自广泛学科的专家知识。从一开始，就特别需要病毒学专业知识，以便向政治家提供建议，并向民众通报病毒、其繁殖率、传播以及典型的感染症状。病毒学专业知识是通过专门从事科学传播和科学新闻的机构（如科隆的德国科学媒体中心）以及在很大程度上通过大众媒体传播的。在此背景下，本文探讨了病毒学家在政治脱口秀节目中的划界实践。我们的语料库由25个政治脱口秀节目组成，这些节目在2020年3月至2021年4月期间在德国的公共频道播出。这篇文章阐述了科学、政治和媒体领域之间的紧张关系，并展示了病毒学家如何努力维护和捍卫这些领域之间的边界。在互动语言学的基础上，我们分析了三位病毒学家（Melanie Brinkmann、Alexander Kekulé和Hendrik Streeck）的定点实践，以确定所采用的关键划界实践。

期刊介绍： The Zeitschrift für Angewandte Linguistik (ZfAL) is the official publication of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Linguistik (GAL) [Society for Applied Linguistics]. It is one of the most important German journals in this field and appears biannually. ZfAL seeks to represent the entire field of applied linguistics and to give impulses for the academic discourse in all of its subdisciplines (e.g. phonetics and speech science, lexicography, grammar and grammar theory, text linguistics and stylistics, discourse studies, media communication, specialized communication, sociolinguistics, language contact and multilingualism, intercultural communication and multilingual discourses, translation/interpretation studies, language didactics, media didactics and media competence, computer linguistics, among others). The emphasis of applied linguistics is on the transfer of linguistic methods and insights to the professional practice of those whose work concerns language, language use and communication.
