尽管学术界和政策制定者仍在争论其确切原因及其后果的严重程度，但当前的金融危机无疑是 2000 年代末最独特的经济事件。但尽管如此大规模的经济现象很重要，但对其话语结构的研究却很少。本文提供了一些实证数据来展示如何识别危机及其在企业沟通中的边界解释，试图了解经济行为者如何通过例行强调某些代理人和利益相关者的作用而忽略其他人的作用来选择性地塑造公众对关键事件的看法。危机的术语、其搭配以及话语偏好均取自 1,500,000 字的年度报告临时语料库。
Although both academics and policy-makers still debate its exact causes and the extent of its consequences, the ongoing financial crisis is doubtlessly the most distinctive economic event of the late 2000s. But despite the importance of such large-scale economic phenomena, there has been little research on their discursive construction. This paper presents some empirical data to show how the crisis is identified and its boundaries construed in corporate communication, seeking to understand how economic actors selectively shape public perceptions of critical events by routinely emphasising the role of certain agents and stakeholders while ignoring others. Terms for the crisis, their collocates and their discourse preferences are drawn from a 1,500,000-word ad hoc corpus of annual reports.
