一篇土著居民环保演讲的和谐话语分析

A Harmony Discourse Analysis of an Indigenous Environmental Speech

气候行动和可持续性等环保问题的解决方案都离不开土著居民的传统智慧。本文以TED演讲中的一篇魁北克土著居民环保演讲为语料,基于和谐话语双层分析框架进行话语分析。微观层面上,利用UAM Corpus Tool 6.2等工具对语篇进行了及物性标注和统计并分析了语言特征;宏观上,结合和谐话语分析理论的研究假定和三个分析原则,探讨了演讲语篇中蕴含的土著居民的中心生态思想和生态观,即人类在保护自然的同时,自然也会庇护人类。同时,也验证了世界视角下不同语篇中进行和谐话语分析的可行性,拓宽了理论的应用研究范围。

Solutions to environmental issues such as climate action and sustainability are inseparable from the traditional wisdom of indigenous peoples. A Quebec indigenous environmental speech from a TED talk was used as the corpus for discourse analysis based on a two-layer analysis framework of Harmonious Discourse Analysis (HDA, for short). At the micro level, the discourse is marked and counted with the UAM Corpus Tool 6.2 according to the transitivity system, and the linguistic features are analyzed. At the macro level, the central ecological thought and ecological view of the indigenous people embedded in the speech are explored in the context of the research assumptions and three analysis principles of the HDA, i.e., “If we take care of the land, the land takes care of us”. It also verifies the feasibility of HDA in different discourses from the world perspective and broadens the scope of applied research of the theory.
