在本文中，我强调了话语分析方法对妇女堕胎的叙述与越来越多的研究机构所采取的话语分析方法之间的主要区别，这些研究旨在探索和衡量妇女堕胎耻辱的经历。借鉴对医疗保健其他领域污名概念化的批判性分析，我认为，对堕胎污名的研究往往有具体化的风险，因为没有考虑到身份是如何通过语言使用不断重新协商的。相比之下，通过关注语言作为一种社会行为形式，话语心理学使得强调说话者构建“无困扰”（即非污名化）身份的能力成为可能，同时承认这一过程受到谈话发生的背景的限制。我的分析将这些见解应用于对英国女性堕胎经历的采访。我强调了三种形式的话语工作，通过这些话语工作，女性在堕胎的叙述中找到了“麻烦”，并批判性地考虑了在这种特定的谈话背景下，可以用来制造意义的资源。在这样做的过程中，我的目的是激发对话语框架的反思，通过这些话语框架，妇女对堕胎的描述被征求和探索。
In this paper, I highlight key differences between a discourse analytic approach to women’s accounts of abortion and that taken by the growing body of research that seeks to explore and measure women’s experiences of abortion stigma. Drawing on critical analyses of the conceptualisation of stigma in other fields of healthcare, I suggest that research on abortion stigma often risks reifying it by failing to consider how identities are continually re-negotiated through language-use. In contrast, by attending to language as a form of social action, discursive psychology makes it possible to emphasise speakers’ capacity to construct “untroubled” (i.e. non-stigmatised) identities, while acknowledging that this process is constrained by the contexts in which talk takes place. My analysis applies these insights to interviews with women concerning their experiences of having an abortion in England. I highlight three forms of discursive work through which women navigate “trouble” in their accounts of abortion, and critically consider the resources available for meaning-making within this particular context of talk. In doing so, I aim to provoke reflection about the discursive frameworks through which women’s accounts of abortion are solicited and explored.
