摘要

摘要本文考察了“占领加纳”运动在“占领旗帜之家”和“红色星期五”运动期间发布的推文。它揭示了当活动家话语利用当地情绪和当地社区和观众的语言特征时，他们是如何最有说服力地进行叙事的。调查结果揭示了推文中使用的三种机制：将加纳政府构建为麻木不仁的政府，将加纳人代表为受苦受难的群众，以及利用立场实现社会政治目标。文章强调了社会运动理论与社会媒体批评话语研究之间的协同作用。

Advocacy and civic engagement in protest discourse on Twitter: an examination of Ghana’s #OccupyFlagstaffHouse and #RedFriday campaigns

ABSTRACT This article examines tweets produced by Occupy Ghana during its #OccupyFlagstaffHouse and #RedFriday campaigns. It sheds light on how activist discourses are most persuasively narrativized when they capitalize on local sentiment and language features characteristic of local communities and audiences. The findings reveal three mechanisms employed in the tweets: constructing the Ghanaian government as insensitive, representing Ghanaians as the suffering masses, and exploiting stance for sociopolitical objectives. The article highlights the synergy between social movement theory and social media critical discourse studies.
