战争叙事视角下的军事语言协同能力研究

Exploring the Interoperability of Military Language Capability from the Perspective of War Narrative

语言的交锋是现代战争的重要组成部分。语言与非语言手段的协同运用能够有效发挥管控危机、遏制对手、塑造态势、赢得优势的作用。以往研究大都聚焦军事语言能力本身,较少关注语言与其他战争手段的协同关系。看待军事语言协同能力不能采用孤立的视角,而应结合战争叙事的总体框架,考虑语言运用在实施战争行为、描述战争进程、组织战争行为和影响受众认知中的作用。理想的军事语言协同策略应以知识共享为基础,充分了解战争参与各方的行为意图,力争实现己方力量优劣互补的总体效应。以伊拉克战争为例,可以看出语言运用在标定关键节点、框定发展脉络、策应军事行动、营造感染效果等方面对战争叙事推进的协同效应。建议未来应加强军事语言协同机制、军事语言能力生成和军事语言能力建设方案研究。

Verbal confrontation is an integral part of modern war.The cooperative use of language and other means of warfare can help manage the crisis,deter potential enemies,shape the situation,and gain the initiative.While the construction of military language capability has been a research focus,few studies have attempted to explore its cooperation with other military capabilities.This paper suggests that a comprehensive rather than an isolated perspective should be taken to examine the alignment of language use and other military actions.Using war narrative as an analytical framework,we argue that the manipulative use of language can contribute to an intended narrative by communicating war messages,depicting war processes,unifying war activities,and influencing target audience’s cognition.Successful language interoperability should be based on shared knowledge and mutual understanding with the purpose of achieving complementary advantages.Taking Iraq War as an example,this article explains how the consistent and cooperative use of language can contribute to a favorable war narrative by highlighting critical moments in a war timeline,organizing the war process in a narrative link,supporting other military actions,and stimulating the emotional reactions in the target audience.It is suggested that future studies on military language capability should be focused on its interoperability mechanism,generation process,and construction strategies.
