摘要

摘要以往的研究大多揭示了媒体对外籍家庭佣工的负面报道,其中充斥着种族主义内容。然而,没有一项研究采用语料库辅助的话语分析方法来系统地调查从新闻媒体收集的大量关于外籍家庭佣工的语言数据。为了填补这一空白,本研究采用话语韵律的概念,以《南华早报》为代表,研究了香港背景下围绕外籍家庭佣工的主导话语。研究结果揭示了外佣媒体表征的两种主导话语:支持性话语和其他话语,分别暗示了反种族主义和种族主义的意识形态含义。最后,强调了使用语料库辅助语篇分析来检验媒体表征中的主导语篇的有用性。

Media representations of foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong: a corpus-assisted discourse analysis
Abstract Previous studies have mostly revealed the negative media representations of foreign domestic helpers (FDHs), which are pervaded by racist content. Yet, no study has adopted a corpus-assisted discourse analytic approach to systematically investigate a large amount of language data about foreign domestic helpers collected from the news media. To fill this niche, this study employs the notion of discourse prosodies to examine the dominant discourses surrounding foreign domestic helpers in the context of Hong Kong as represented in the South China Morning Post. The findings reveal two dominant discourses underlying the media representations of FDHs: supportive and othering discourses, suggesting ideological implications for both anti-racism and racism, respectively. In conclusion, the usefulness of employing corpus-assisted discourse analysis to examine dominant discourses in media representations is highlighted.

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
