Man and Technology. Controversial discourses on the machanization of the living world

自1990年以来，生活世界的技术化在不同阶段和阶段一直是一系列最具争议性的辩论的主题。自始至终，人与技术的关系一直是公共话语的中心主题之一。这一点在生物伦理和医学伦理论述领域(资助阶段1)尤其明显，但在关于数字化的论述(资助阶段2)中也是如此。在这两个领域，技术发展对人类的影响都是在社会和政治辩论的框架内谈判的。这些谈判最终对人的潜在形象产生了影响，而人的形象在话语中以语言的形式表现出来。该项目追求三个主要目标：首先，它的目的是就上述1990年以来的话语，展示人类与技术之间关系的语言话语历史；它侧重于生物医学技术方面生活世界机械化的语言结构及其伦理影响。该项目的第二个目标是促进整个项目中合作语料库语言学方法的发展，从而将对词汇、辩论以及言语行为水平的分析引向对话语水平的分析。其基础是来自形成意见的中央媒体和相关协会(道德委员会、道德委员会等)的声明的各种类型文本的文本语料库。另一本是关于生物医学和生物伦理论述的Aus Politik and Zeitgeschichte期刊的具体问题，另一本是关于生物医学和生物伦理论述的Aus Politik and Zeitgeschichte杂志的具体问题。特别是，关于生殖技术和胚胎处理、植入前诊断、产前基因血液测试、生殖系干预/生殖系疗法、堕胎、干细胞研究、安乐死和姑息医学以及移植医学和器官捐赠的论述被考虑在内。关于解释性分析类别，将与其他分项目合作开发一个标记集，然后应用于整个文本语料库。第三，该项目还包括第三个启发性目标。这包括使用语料库语言分析来揭示生物医学和伦理话语(资助阶段1)和数字化话语(资助阶段2)中关于人与技术之间的关系的语言结构和推理和意义变化的机制，从而使它们变得可理解。

Since 1990, the technologisation of the living world has been the subject of a wide range of mostly controversial debates in various stages and phases. Throughout, the relationship of humans to technology has been one of the central themes of public discourse. This is particularly evident in the area of bioethical and medical ethics discourses (funding phase 1), but also in discourses on digitalisation (funding phase 2). In both areas, the influence of technological developments on humans is negotiated within the framework of social and political debates. These negotiations ultimately have an impact on the underlying image of man, which manifests itself linguistically in the discourses. The project pursues three major goals: Firstly, it aims to present a linguistic discourse history of the relationship between humans and technology with regard to the discourses since 1990 as forementioned; it focuses on the linguistic constructions of the mechanisation of the lifeworld with regard to biomedical technologies and their ethical implications. The second aim of the project is to contribute to the development of collaborative corpus linguistic methods in the overall project, whereby the analysis of the lexical, argumentative as well as the level of speech acts leads into the analysis of the discursive level. The basis for this is a text corpus of various types of texts from central, opinion-forming media on the one hand and from statements by relevant associations (Ethics Council, Ethics Committees, etc.) and political parties, reports on commission work by political parties, transcriptions of talk shows, texts from the Deutsches Ärzteblatt, statements by relevant reference centres (DRZE), dossiers from the Federal Agency for Civic Education and specific issues of the journal Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte on biomedical and bioethical discourses on the other. In particular, discourses on reproductive technologies and the handling of embryos, pre-implantation diagnostics, prenatal genetic blood tests, germ line interventions/germ line therapies, abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia and palliative medicine as well as transplantation medicine and organ donation are taken into account. With regard to the interpretative analysis categories, a tagset will be developed collaboratively in exchange with the other subprojects, which will then be applied to the entire text corpus.Thirdly, the project also includes a third, enlightening goal. This consists of using corpus linguistic analysis to reveal linguistic structures and mechanisms of discursivation and change of meaning in biomedical and ethical discourses (funding phase 1) and in discourses on digitalisation (funding phase 2) with regard to the relationship between humans and technology and thus make them comprehensible.
