Bye, bye bees? On the functional use of scientific non-knowledge vs. knowledge in the discourse on pesticides

非知识或不确定性知识的主题多年来一直是社会学、哲学和心理学的研究对象。然而，令人惊讶的是，它通常仍然几乎是语言学研究的盲点。拟议的项目试图通过进一步借鉴作为该项目一部分供资的前一个项目“科学与公众，关于新闻文本和针对非科学家的文本中科学非知识的语言表达”所获得的见解来纠正这种情况;分析将主要利用话语语言学的工具。前一个项目展示了非知识传播的语言学工具，当涉及到充分理解非知识的话语意义时，系统的和文体的文本分析是不够的，即它可以被功能化以服务于公共传播中的某些目的。关于禁止使用类尼古丁以保护野生蜜蜂和蜜蜂的争论，拟议的项目将1。扩大和进一步区分行为者的范围，同时考虑到科学、政治、商业和民间社会团体。在一个在线提供话语位置的时代，这需要通过2。这些行为者所产生的原始文本，而不是像大多数话语语言学研究有争议的社会问题通常只通过分析新闻和大众媒体的文本。被证明的语境敏感性的语言指的是非知识，使其明智的3。更多地考虑到具体的话语年表，从而也考虑到互文性的背景和发展。最后，4。到目前为止，还没有具体的语用语言学分析的功能，参考上下文的非知识，也没有任何重建的非知识，特别是在有争议的领域之间的科学预测和政治建议的行动功能。因此，该项目有望提供从话语语言学的见解，以增加现有的文本文体学知识的科学非知识的通信和扩展话语语言学的关注非知识。此外，它提供了一个有用的贡献，社会科学辩论的科学非知识的社会意义，提供了一个特定的语言学的角度来看，同时也提供了自然保护生物学的新方法来反映科学的非知识的沟通，旨在科学界以外。

The topic of non-knowledge or uncertain knowledge has been the object of intense research efforts in sociology, philosophy and psychology for some years now. Surprisingly, however, it generally continues to be nearly a blind spot in linguistics research. The proposed project seeks to remedy this situation by building further upon the insights gained from a previous project, funded as part of the project: "Science and the Public, on the linguistic expression of scientific non-knowledge in journalistic texts and texts aimed at non-scientists"; the analysis will make use primarily of the tools of discourse linguistics. The previous project demonstrated the linguistics instruments of non-knowledge communication and that systematic and stylistic textual analyses are not sufficient when it comes to adequately understanding the discursive significance of non-knowledge, i.e. the ways it can be functionalized to serve certain purposes in public communication.Taking as an example the current, hotly contested, debate about the ban on neonicotinoids to protect wild bees and honey bees, the proposed project will 1. extend and further differentiate the spectrum of actors, taking account of scientific, political, business and civil society groups. In an age of online availability of discursive positions, this needs to be done by 2. drawing on the original texts produced by these actors rather than, as is usual in most discourse linguistics studies on controversial societal issues, only by analysing journalistic and mass media texts. The proven context sensitivity of language referring to non-knowledge makes it sensible to 3. take greater account of the specific discourse chronology and thus also of intertextual contexts and developments. Finally, 4. there has to date been no specifically pragmalinguistic analysis of the functions of references to non-knowledge in context nor any reconstruction of the resulting functionalizations of non-knowledge, particularly in the contested area between scientific predictions and political recommendations for action. The project thus promises to deliver insights from discourse linguistics to add to existing textual stylistics knowledge regarding the communication of scientific non-knowledge and to extend discourse linguistics by focusing on non-knowledge. Additionally, it offers a useful contribution to the social scientific debate on the societal significance of scientific non-knowledge by providing a specific linguistics perspective, while also offering nature conservation biology new ways of reflecting on scientific non-knowledge in communication aimed outside the scientific community.
