历史语篇分析视域下日本“可持续发展话语”建构策略研究——以2023年日本《环境白皮书》为中心

Research on the Construction Strategy of Japan’s“Sustainable Development Discourse”from the Perspective of Discourse-Historical Approach:A Case Study centered on the 2023 Japan’s Environmental White Paper

历史语篇分析法是分析政治话语的有效方法。本文以2023年日本《环境白皮书》中的“可持续发展话语”为研究对象,自建小型语料库,基于历史语篇分析法的理论框架对该话语进行主题分析和策略分析。研究发现,该话语主要围绕可持续发展社会、政策制定、人员合作、生物多样性、技术开发、森林利用、循环经济、废弃物处理八大主题展开,并通过命名策略、述谓策略、论辩策略、视角化策略和强化/弱化策略等五种话语策略,试图建构出日本积极参与全球环境治理、承担环境保护责任、实现可持续发展社会等的国家形象。本文揭示了日本可持续发展话语背后隐含的政治意图,以期为我国在参与全球环境治理中的对外话语权构建提供一些参考和启示。

The discourse-historical approach is an effective tool for analyzing political discourse.This article is based on Environmental White Paper of Japan in 2023,“sustainable development discourse”is the research object,and a small corpus is built,and the topic analysis and discourse strategy analysis are carried out based on the theoretical framework of discourse-historical approach.This study finds that this discourse mainly revolves around eight major themes:sustainable development society,policy making,personnel cooperation,biodiversity,technology development,forest utilization,circular economy,and waste disposal.By analyzing the above themes with five discourse strategies of Nomination Strategy,Predication Strategy,Argumentation Strategy,Perspectivation Strategy,and Intensification Strategy/Mitigation Strategy,this article attempts to build a national image of Japan actively participating in global environmental governance,assuming environmental protection responsibilities,and achieving sustainable development society.This article reveals the political intentions behind Japan’s sustainable development discourse,in order to provide some reference and inspiration for China’s foreign external discourse construction in participating in global environmental governance.
