过去两个世纪以来，政客们讨论谁、什么、在哪里被视为“不文明”的方式，让我们可以深入了解处于权威地位的发言者如何分类和构建他们周围的世界，以及英国当权者如何看待这个国家和他们自己。本文使用 1803-2003 年英国议会演讲的 Hansard 语料库以及英语历史辞典中的数据来分析被认为不文明的人物、地点和做法的词语使用的历时变化。它提出了新方法并提供了定量数据来描述这一时期政治态度的转变，不仅针对所谓的“不文明”，而且针对整个国家。
The ways in which politicians have discussed who, what, and where was considered “uncivilized’” across the past two centuries gives an insight into how speakers in a position of authority classified and constructed the world around them, and how those in power in Britain see the country and themselves. This article uses the Hansard Corpus 1803–2003 of speeches in the UK Parliament alongside data from theHistorical Thesaurus of Englishto analyse diachronic variation in usage of words for persons, places and practices considered uncivil. It proposes new methods and offers quantitative data to describe the period’s shift in political attitudes towards not just the so-called “uncivil” but also the country as a whole.
