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

自1990年以来，生活世界的技术化一直是在不同阶段和阶段进行的广泛而有争议的辩论的主题。自始至终，人类与技术的关系一直是公共话语的中心主题之一。这在生物伦理和医学伦理领域（资助阶段1）尤其明显，但在数字化领域（资助阶段2）也很明显。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进行谈判的。这些谈判最终对人的潜在形象产生了影响，这种形象在语言上表现为话语。该项目追求三个主要目标：首先，它旨在呈现自1990年以来的话语中人类与技术关系的语言话语史；它侧重于关于生物医学技术及其伦理含义的生活世界的机械化的语言结构。该项目的第二个目标是在整个项目中促进协作语料库语言学方法的发展，通过对词汇、辩论和言语行为层面的分析，从而进入话语层面的分析。这项工作的基础是一个文本语料库，其中包括各种类型的文本，一方面来自形成舆论的中央媒体，另一方面来自有关协会（道德理事会、道德委员会等）和政党的声明，关于政党委托工作的报告，谈话节目的抄录，Deutsches的文本Ärzteblatt，有关参考中心的声明，另一方面是联邦公民教育局的档案和《政治与时代》杂志关于生物医学和生物伦理论述的具体问题。特别是关于生殖技术和胚胎处理、植入前诊断、产前遗传血液检查、生殖系干预/生殖系治疗、流产、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演讲。关于解释性分析类别，将与其他子项目交换协作开发标记集，然后将其应用于整个文本语料库。第三，本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）中关于人与技术关系的话语和意义变化的语言结构和机制，从而使它们易于理解。

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.
