学术语境下的身份冲突及话语策略——基于学术会议主持人话语的分析

Identity Conflicts and Discourse Strategies in Academic Context: Based on the Analysis of Moderators' Discourse at Academic Conferences

从身份角度讨论学术话语的研究是国内外当前相关体裁研究的热点之一。现有研究往往聚焦或比较母语作者及二语学习者在学术写作中自身身份的建构,探讨其身份建构的多元性及其语言表征,但鲜有学者考察面对面学术交流过程中相关参与者的身份建构问题,特别是他们面对的身份冲突问题及为此而采取的话语策略。本研究聚焦国内学术会议上大会或小组主持人的话语,采集一定数量的第一手真实语料,采用定性分析方法,通过分析主持人话语的一些特征,揭示他们试图构建的多种语用身份以及相关身份之间的冲突,探究主持人试图消解不同身份之间冲突而采取的话语策略。

Recent decades have witnessed an investment of great effort, both at home and abroad, into investigating academic discourse from the perspective of identity. Existing studies are mainly focused on examining or comparing the construction of authorial identity between native writers and second language learners in academic writing in order to explore the varieties and linguistic representations of identity construction. Little attention has been paid to the issue of how participants construct identities in face-to-face academic interactions, especially how they adopt discourse strategies to manage identity conflicts. Based on authentic data, the current study is devoted to examining the features of moderators' discourse in domestic academic conferences through qualitative discussions. It aims to reveal the types of constructed identities and possible conflicts between them and explore how moderators use particular discourse strategies to resolve these conflicts.
