语言游戏观背景下学术写作者“玩家”身份建构

Constructing A“Player”Identity of Academic Writers:A Language Games Perspective

本文基于语言游戏观,探讨学术写作中写作者的身份建构。与玩家参与游戏时体现的能动性类似,写作者在掌握和遵循学术体裁规则时,也可能对规则进行变通、挑战或创新,展现个性化写作特征,建构符合社会规约和个人特征的玩家身份。在游戏观视角下探讨写作者身份,能够帮助写作者更好地理解学术写作中身份发展的复杂性和动态性,促进写作者有效参与学术写作互动,提升学术写作能力,为学科知识发展增添活力。

Drawing on the theory of language games,this article discusses writers’identity construction in academic writing.Analogous to how players participate in games,writers not only learn to master and follow the rules in academic genres,but also enact agency to bend,challenge or innovate the rules,demonstrating personal writing styles.By doing so,writers tend to construct a player identity mediated both by social conventions and personal characteristics.Exploring identity from the perspective of language games can help writers better understand the complex and dynamic nature of identity development and enhance writers’effective interaction with the discourse community,as well as their academic writing abilities to vitalize disciplinary knowledge progression.
