摘要

民主化常常被用来解释语言的非同步发展。我们认为，民主化的根源往往在于权力关系的务实协商，即更民主地使用语言可以缩小称呼者与被称呼者之间的距离。本文研究了 COHA 所代表的《纽约时报》社论从 1860 年到 1979 年的权力关系演变。在对反映民主化的三个语用变量的演变进行定量分析后，本研究进行了定性分析，目的是将这些变量与报纸社论的情境背景联系起来，特别是关于随着时间的推移在这一语域中协商的权力关系。本文还探讨了社会历史事件对权力关系演变的影响，并表明它们之间存在密切联系。

A diachronic corpus-pragmatic approach to democratization

Democratization is often invoked as an explanatory factor for diachronic linguistic developments. We believe that at the root of democratization often lies the pragmatic negotiation of power relations, whereby a more democratic use of language can reduce the distance between addresser and addressee. This article examines the evolution of power relations in the New York Times editorials from 1860 to 1979 as represented in COHA. After a quantitative analysis of the evolution of three pragmatic variables that index democratization, the study offers a qualitative analysis with the aim of anchoring them to the situational context of newspaper editorials, especially regarding the power relations negotiated in this register over time. This paper also examines the impact of socio-historical events on the evolution of power relations and shows that they are intimately linked.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
