这项研究认为,日本的素食现象是“东亚温文尔雅的男子气概”中的“食草动物”现象。这项研究聚焦于脚本语料和自然主义语料中的词汇差异,认为尽管SKD确定的说话者在媒体中使用显著变量非常符合刻板印象的性别使用模式,但在自然语料中使用这些变量要复杂得多,这表明说话人参与了一系列性别立场的表演。此外,数据表明,性别类型的表现不是使用特定的词汇项目,例如给定的语用助词,而是通过使用一系列项目的模式来表现出来的,并且单个项目的使用本身并不标志着性别绩效。同时,当说话者不符合说话者先前存在的说话人形象时,对话者会忽略说话人对其他显著变量的使用,而是专注于使用那些证实了说话人元语言形象的变量。
This study considers the Japanese phenomenon ofsooshokukei-danshi(SKD) ‘Herbivore Men’ within larger discourses of ‘East-Asian gentle masculinity.’ Focusing on lexical variation across both scripted and naturalistic data, the current study argues that while use of salient variables by SKD identified speakers in media closely conform to stereotypically gendered usage patterns, use of these variables in naturalistic data is more complex, suggesting speakers’ engagement in the performance of a range of gendered stances. Furthermore, data indicate that rather than use of particular lexical items, e.g. a given pragmatic particle, the performance of gendered types emerges through patterns in the use of a range of items and that use of a single item does not by itself signal gendered performance. Concurrently, interlocutors ignore speakers’ use of otherwise salient variables when they do not conform to interlocutors’ pre-existing images of these speakers, focusing instead on use of those variables that confirm their metalinguistic images of the speaker.
