摘要

本文考察了2015年12月至2017年12月加拿大四家主要英文报纸对叙利亚难民的报道。运用语料库语言学(CL)和批评话语分析(CDA)的方法，本研究发现了三个突出的主题，即接纳、融合和关注，通过这些主题，叙利亚难民在政治光谱中被描绘出来。研究结果表明，采取更具包容性的移民政策并不能完全消除媒体对难民报道中根深蒂固的偏见和歧视性表述，但它可以为媒体对难民给予更多授权和同情的待遇奠定基础。这一分析说明了媒体话语在加拿大公众中产生和维持对难民的特殊描述方面的重要性，强调了新闻媒体对难民的描述中意识形态和政治立场的作用。

A corpus-assisted discourse analysis of the representation of Syrian refugees in Canadian newspapers

This paper examines the representation of Syrian refugees in the Canadian press, from December 2015 to December 2017, in four English-language major newspapers. Using methods of Corpus Linguistics (CL) and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study found three prominent themes, namely intake, integration, and concern, through which Syrian refugees are depicted across the political spectrum. The results indicate that adopting a more inclusive immigration policy did not totally negate the biased and discriminatory representations entrenched in the media coverage of refugees, but it can set the stage for more empowering and sympathetic treatment of refugees in the media. This analysis speaks to the importance of media discourse in producing and maintaining particular depictions of refugees among the Canadian public, highlighting the role of ideological and political stances in the portrayals of refugees across news outlets.

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.
