社会建构主义视角下的话语分析

Discourse Analysis in the Perspective of Social Constructionism

社会建构主义是一种认识论,它在强调社会建构、社会过程的同时,也强调了语言和话语体系在社会建构中的作用。语言或是话语本身是一种社会实践,它是人们之间交流和互动的产品,在这种互动中,现实经由话语建构起来,由叙事、谈话和故事组织并加以维持,进而构成不同的话语体系。以上社会建构主义对语言或是话语实践行为的阐释拓展了话语分析的视野。

Social constructionism is epistemologically oriented. It emphasizes social construction and social process in knowledge creating; it puts constructive function of language and discourse in a paramount position. Discourse in social constructionism is considered as one moment of social practice and the product of social interaction. Social reality is thus constituted and then represented in narration, talk and story which are then organized via discourse. This perspective of discourse thus expands the discourse studies.
