批评隐喻分析视角下的国际机构身份构建研究——以联合国教科文组织为例

Study on the Identity Construct of International Organization from the Perspective of Critical Metaphor Analysis:Taking UNESCO as an Example

批评隐喻分析视角下的隐喻是话语者有意识的话语选择,可以实现社会关系和社会身份的构建。本文以联合国教科文组织现任总干事的50篇英语演讲为语料,分析隐喻的选择如何实现国际机构的身份构建。结果表明:语料中的隐喻有助于塑造一个有目标、有策略、有效率、全身心投入人类事业的国际组织形象,实现国际机构存在的合理化和合法化。

In critical metaphor analysis,metaphor is a conscious linguistic choice in constructing social relations and identities.Based on 50 English speeches of current General-Director of UNESCO,this study aims to analyze how choices of metaphor contribute to identity construct of international organizations.Results show that metaphors in the corpus help establish UNESCO＇s image as a goal-oriented,strategic,efficient and dedicated organization and thus justify and legitimize its existence.
