Abstract:

Identity metadiscourse in online debate programs reflects debaters’ metapragmatic awareness of highlighting pragmatic identity information. This paper takes the debate discourse from the Chinese program Qi Pa Shuo as the corpus, and analyzes the usage characteristics of identity metadiscourse and its metapragmatic manipulative functions. The study finds that debaters mainly use various types of identity metadiscourse to reflect their identity characteristics, which reflects their metapragmatic awareness in dimensions such as identity attributes, roles, and identification. Debaters will select various types of identity metadiscourse according to different communicative purposes, so as to achieve metapragmatic functions such as manipulating the argumentative angle of topics, evoking audience empathy, and highlighting the program’s humorous effect. This study provides implications for broadening the metapragmatic awareness dimension of pragmatic identity construction and enriching metadiscourse research in argumentative contexts.

Keywords: identity metadiscourse; metapragmatic awareness; metapragmatic manipulation; debate discourse; pragmatic identity construction

摘要：

网络论辩节目中的身份元话语体现了论辩者对语用身份信息进行凸显的元语用意识。本文以《奇葩说》中的论辩话语为语料，分析讨论身份元话语的使用特征及其元语用调控功能。研究发现，论辩者在论辩中主要使用各类身份元话语来体现身份特征，这反映了论辩者在身份属性、角色和认同等维度的元语用意识。论辩者会根据不同的交际目的，选择各类身份元话语，以实现操控话题论辩角度、使受众产生共情以及突出节目幽默效果等元语用功能。本研究对拓宽语用身份建构的元语用意识维度以及丰富论辩语境中的元话语研究具有一定的启示意义。
