摘要

媒体对不同民族/种族群体成员之间互动的描述可以产生建设性或有害的社会影响，这取决于这些表征的特征。为了进一步了解这些种族间的动态，我们研究了黄金时段电视节目中种族间互动的语言特征。人类和计算机辅助分析了548次互动，涉及578个角色，揭示了种族间互动的相对平等的表现模式。此外，根据交际适应理论，在种族间的交往中，人物之间的语言使用一般是匹配的(即趋同)。

Linguistic Characteristics of Interracial Interactions on Primetime TV: A Quantitative Content Analysis

Media depictions of interactions between members of different ethnic/racial groups can have either constructive or detrimental social impact depending on the characteristics of these representations. To advance understanding of these interracial dynamics, the linguistic characteristics of interracial interactions in scripted primetime television shows were examined. Human and computer-assisted analysis of 548 interactions involving 578 characters revealed a relatively egalitarian pattern of representation of interracial interactions. Furthermore, in line with communication accommodation theory, characters generally matched each other’s language use (i.e., converged) during interracial interactions.
