商务英语小组课堂展示中的女性后结构主义话语分析

An Ethnographic Research of Feminist Post-structuralist Discourse Analysis Applied in Business English Classroom Context

女性后结构主义话语分析(Feminist Post-structuralist Discourse Analysis,简称FPDA)作为一种女性主义的研究方法,通过研究对话者在对抗交织的话语中被定位的方式,分析其在动态交际中如何协商身份、关系、地位、构建权力关系。本文将报告一项质性研究,研究在商务英语课堂公开讨论的情境下,有效演讲者如何被更有权力地定位。本研究探讨了FPDA如何作为理论工具运用在商务英语课堂对话上,从而使教育工作者了解课堂上支配学生互动的话语实践,对二语习得的性别差异研究也有一定启示。

As a feminist methodological tool,FPDA(Feminist Post-structuralist Discourse Analysis)analyses the ways in which speakers negotiate identities,relationships and status,and constitute power relationships by how they are positioned from interwoven and competing discourses.From analyzing a corpus of spoken English from business English classroom,this paper aims to explore how effective speakers are more powerfully positioned.This paper also investigates how an FPDA approach could be applied to the business English classroom context.The value of this research is that it can help educators to become aware of discursive practices which control students’interactions in class and therefore provide some insights into gender in the ESL/EFL research.
