话语研究的语料库路径:方法、挑战与前景

Corpus Approaches to Discourse Studies:Methods,Challenges and Prospects

本文系统评述语料库话语研究的不同路径,包括基于语料库的话语研究(corpus-based discourse studies,CBDS)、语料库辅助的话语研究(corpus-assisted discourse studies,CADS)和语料库资讯的话语研究(corpus-informed discourse studies,CIDS)。我们首先讨论各个路径的主要方法特征、常用分析技术以及与经典批评话语分析的对接及耦合,继而分析不同路径的思想和方法的异同。文章还讨论了话语分析在信息技术革命背景下面临的挑战,探讨其发展方向。

This paper sets out to offer a systematic review of major corpus linguistic approaches to discourse studies,including the corpus-based discourse studies(CBDS),corpus-assisted discourse studies(CADS)and corpus-informed discourse studies(CIDS).We start with identifying distinctive methodological features,common analytical instruments and their alignment with concepts of classical Critical Discourse Analysis,before examining the similarities and differences in ideas and methods of the three different approaches.The article also addresses the challenges discourse studies are now encountering amid current new waves of information technologies and discusses possible prospects for development.
