Identities, at both individual and collective levels, are normally considered to denote a self-conceptualisation that is predicated on perceptions of similarity and difference. Although scholars have noted the significance of the oppositional othering between Greeks and non-Greeks in the formation of Greek identities, the processes that the rhetoric of the 'barbarian other' played in fourth-century BCE political and everyday communication have not been systematically examined. Adopting the social-cognitive theory of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse the corpus of Attic oratory, the project aims to explore the relationship between individual orators' manipulative use of ethnographic images of the 'barbarian other' and their cognitive and emotive effect on the audiences in different Athenian institutional settings, especially in the Assembly and law courts, on civic occasions such as Panhellenic festivals and public funerals, and in small private gatherings including symposia and schools. By identifying the presence and function of nonGreeks in Attic oratory, examining the rhetorical strategies and linguistic features deplored by the orators, as well as juxtaposing close readings of relevant passages within the broader historical and social-political contexts, the project will demonstrate the dynamic relationship between the orators and the audiences, and elucidate Athenian public and private discourses about the 'barbarian other' as a matter of cultural identity and processes, as well as a result of individual strategies and choices. Through exploring and exposing the (ethnic) biases, problematic assumptions and habits of thought that underlie the rhetoric of 'otherness' in ancient political and everyday discourse, the project will help reflect on the strategies and language used in contemporary discourse concerning foreigners and outsiders, in particular, on what role of the rhetoric of the 'other' plays in political and educational domains.

通常认为身份在个人和集体层面上都被认为表示是基于相似性和差异的看法的自我概念。尽管学者们指出了希腊人和非希腊人在希腊身份形成中对立其他人之间的反对性，但在公元前四世纪的政治和日常沟通中，“野蛮人他人的言论”的过程尚未进行系统的检查。该项目采用批判性话语分析的社会认知理论（CDA）来分析阁楼演说的语料库，旨在探索单个演说家对“野蛮人他人”的民族志图像的操纵使用及其对不同雅典机构的受众的认知和情感效果的关系，尤其是在雅典机构中，尤其是在公民和法律上，尤其是在公民和法律上，以实现公民和法律的范围，在包括研讨会和学校在内的小型私人聚会中。通过确定Nongreeks在阁楼演说中的存在和功能，研究演说家造成的修辞策略和语言特征，以及在更广泛的历史和社会政治环境中对相关段落的仔细阅读，该项目将在更广泛的历史和社会政治背景下进行，以证明演说家与私人界的动态关系，以及属于私人的范围，既定的，又有界的范围，既定的”，这将是范围内的，既定的”杂物，既定的又有界限。过程以及个人策略和选择的结果。通过探索和揭露（种族）偏见，有问题的假设和思想习惯，这些习惯是在古代政治和日常话语中“其他”的言辞，该项目将有助于反思有关外国人和外界的当代话语中使用的策略和语言，尤其是在政治和教育领域的``其他政治和教育''的作用。
