摘要

为 1450 年至 1866 年期间在北美大陆被奴役的人们争取赔偿的运动由来已久,其中充满了争论,受到了左右两派人士的批评。具体的争论点包括:应分配多少资金、谁是受惠者和潜在责任方,以及赔偿应采取何种具体形式。考虑到这一历史性的对立,本文采用基于语料库的话语分析来研究实施赔偿的传播障碍。语料库由 YouTube 上针对六个城市赔偿提案的新闻报道所发布的评论组成。我利用 Sketch Engine 检查了关键词、搭配和连词的频率,然后对词汇、语法和声调元素进行了细读式话语分析。分析表明,无数的赔偿结构导致了惰性,即维持现状的制度倾向。这种话语结构不仅对赔偿有影响,而且对更广泛的结构改革努力也有影响。

A corpus-based discourse analysis of reparations inertia
The movement for reparations for those enslaved on the North American continent from 1450 to 1866 has a long history fraught with debate, criticized by individuals on both the right and left sides of the political spectrum. Specific points of contention include how much money should be allocated, who the recipients and potential liable parties should be, and what specific form reparations should take. Accounting for this historical opposition, this paper employs a corpus-based discourse analysis to examine the communicative barriers to implementing reparations. The corpora consisted of YouTube comments posted to news reports of six cities’ reparations proposals. I utilized Sketch Engine to examine frequency of keywords, collocations, and concordance, followed by a close-reading discourse analysis of lexical, grammatical, and tonal elements. The analysis revealed myriad constructions of reparations resulting in inertia, the institutional tendency to preserve the status quo. This discursive formation is consequential not only for its implications for reparations, but for broader structural reform efforts.

期刊介绍: Discourse & Communication is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles that pay specific attention to the qualitative, discourse analytical approach to issues in communication research. Besides the classical social scientific methods in communication research, such as content analysis and frame analysis, a more explicit study of the structures of discourse (text, talk, images or multimedia messages) allows unprecedented empirical insights into the many phenomena of communication. Since contemporary discourse study is not limited to the account of "texts" or "conversation" alone, but has extended its field to the study of the cognitive, interactional, social, cultural.
