摘要

话语他人论涉及语言表达对少数群体偏见的多种方式，它概述了促进基于群体的不平等和边缘化的过程和条件。本文以网络他人为研究对象，分析了香港家庭佣工雇主在社交媒体上发布的615条评论。首先，对语料库的定量分析概述了帖子中的内容类别，其次，对代表性摘录的话语分析说明了关于DMW的说法。雇主对他们的助手进行了其他侮辱，分析表明，有辱人格的种族主义言论是如何公开羞辱他们并警告其他人不要雇佣他们的。文章运用语言和社会心理学的框架对这些帖子进行分析，并探讨了使用种族主义贬损语言的作用。论文最后讨论了如何利用研究来解决紧迫的社会问题。

Language, Discrimination and Employability: Employers’ Othering and Racist Representations of Domestic Migrant Workers on Social Media

Discursive othering deals with the many ways in which language is used to express prejudice against minorities, and it outlines the processes and conditions that promote group-based inequality and marginalization. This article focuses on online othering, and it analyzes a corpus of 615 comments posted by Hong Kong employers of domestic migrant workers (DMWs) on social media. First, a quantitative analysis of the corpus outlines the content categories found in the posts, and second, a discourse analysis of representative excerpts illustrates the claims made about DMWs. Employers engage in othering of their helpers, and the analysis shows how demeaning racist comments function to publicly shame them and warn others not to employ them. The article uses Language and Social Psychology frameworks to analyze the posts, and it discusses the functions of using racist derogatory language. The paper concludes by discussing how research may be used to address pressing social issues.
