项目摘要

The topic of non-knowledge or uncertain knowledge has been the object of intense research efforts in sociology, philosophy and psychology for some years now. Surprisingly, however, it generally continues to be nearly a blind spot in linguistics research. The proposed project seeks to remedy this situation by building further upon the insights gained from a previous project, funded as part of the project: "Science and the Public, on the linguistic expression of scientific non-knowledge in journalistic texts and texts aimed at non-scientists"; the analysis will make use primarily of the tools of discourse linguistics. The previous project demonstrated the linguistics instruments of non-knowledge communication and that systematic and stylistic textual analyses are not sufficient when it comes to adequately understanding the discursive significance of non-knowledge, i.e. the ways it can be functionalized to serve certain purposes in public communication.Taking as an example the current, hotly contested, debate about the ban on neonicotinoids to protect wild bees and honey bees, the proposed project will 1. extend and further differentiate the spectrum of actors, taking account of scientific, political, business and civil society groups. In an age of online availability of discursive positions, this needs to be done by 2. drawing on the original texts produced by these actors rather than, as is usual in most discourse linguistics studies on controversial societal issues, only by analysing journalistic and mass media texts. The proven context sensitivity of language referring to non-knowledge makes it sensible to 3. take greater account of the specific discourse chronology and thus also of intertextual contexts and developments. Finally, 4. there has to date been no specifically pragmalinguistic analysis of the functions of references to non-knowledge in context nor any reconstruction of the resulting functionalizations of non-knowledge, particularly in the contested area between scientific predictions and political recommendations for action. The project thus promises to deliver insights from discourse linguistics to add to existing textual stylistics knowledge regarding the communication of scientific non-knowledge and to extend discourse linguistics by focusing on non-knowledge. Additionally, it offers a useful contribution to the social scientific debate on the societal significance of scientific non-knowledge by providing a specific linguistics perspective, while also offering nature conservation biology new ways of reflecting on scientific non-knowledge in communication aimed outside the scientific community.

多年来，非知识或不确定知识的主题一直是社会学，哲学和心理学的强烈研究工作的对象。但是，令人惊讶的是，它通常仍然是语言学研究中几乎是一个盲点。拟议的项目试图通过进一步基于从以前的项目中获得的见解来纠正这种情况：“科学与公众，关于科学非知识的语言表达在针对非科学家的新闻文本和文本中”；该分析将主要利用话语语言学工具。以前的项目展示了非知识交流的语言学工具，并且在充分理解非知识的脉络性意义方面是不够的。考虑到科学，政治，商业和民间社会团体，进一步区分了参与者的范围。在在线供应期间的时代，这需要通过2来完成。借鉴这些参与者所产生的原始文本，而不是像大多数论述语言学在有争议的社会问题上一样，仅通过分析新闻和大众媒体文本。涉及非知识的语言的验证背景敏感性使其对3的明智。对特定话语的年代学以及互文性的上下文和发展更加重要。最后，4。到目前为止，还没有针对上下文中对非知识的功能的功能的布格马尔语言分析，也没有重建所得的非知识功能，尤其是在科学预测和行动政治建议之间的有争议领域中。因此，该项目有望从话语语言学中提供见解，以增加有关科学非知识交流的现有文本风格知识，并通过关注非知识来扩展话语语言学。此外，它通过提供特定的语言学观点，为科学非知识的社会科学辩论提供了有用的贡献，同时还提供了自然保护生物学的新方法，以反思针对科学界以外的传播中的科学非知识。
