教育语言学的语篇分析方法论

Text Analysis Methodology in Educational Linguistics

教育语言学作为从语言角度来研究教育的一门学科,可以采用语篇分析作为其基本的方法论基础。从个体心智发展的视角来看,教育的目标、内容、媒介和途径都是符号性的;从社会文化传承视角来看,教育的社会语境和实现机制也是符号性的。教育的符号性本质决定了教育语篇是教育活动的实际载体,也是个体心智发展和社会文化传承的基础,因而对教育语篇的分析是教育研究的基点。教育语篇分析的可能范围包括个体心智发展和社会文化传承等过程中涉及到的各种语篇活动,包括动态的语篇建构过程和静态的语篇建构产品。教育语篇分析的具体方法因研究目标和对象不同而异,包括结构分析法、认知分析法、社会文化分析法、批评分析法、综合分析法和多模态分析法等。

Educational linguistics is the study of education from the perspective of language,and it can adopt text analysis as its basic methodology. From the perspective of individual mental development,the aim,contents,media and means of education are semiotic. From the perspective of social cultural transmission,both the social context and the realization mechanisms of education are semiotic. The semiotic nature of education implies that educational text is the bearer of educational activities and the basis for both individual mental development and social cultural transmission,which shows that the analysis of educational text is the basis of education studies. The scope of educational text analysis covers textual activities involved in individual mental development and social cultural transmission,including both the dynamic text construction process and static text construction products. Depending on the aim and objectives of our studies,the specific meth-ods for educational text analysis include structure analysis,cognitive analysis,social cultural analysis,critical analysis,multimodal analysis and comprehensive analysis.
