Verbal Violence and Stress in the Context of Migration: Towards an integrative Model from the Perspective of Linguistics and Biopsychology

该项目的目的是通过心理压力研究和语言学的结合，帮助更好地了解移徙背景下言语暴力的起源和影响。它以面子(即社会自我形象)和行为(言语行为理论中的一个概念，指言语行为的效果)的建构为出发点，将其运用到应激心理理论的语境中。这些概念在语言学中仍然缺乏实证支持，而对重音的研究在很大程度上将主观自我形象排除在分析之外。为了克服这些缺点，该项目将两个学科的方法结合起来，在生理应激反应方面实施了取效(在言语暴力的情况下：面子威胁)。在实验形式中，在拉丁美洲和土耳其有(家庭)血统的受试者暴露(或不暴露)潜在的暴力言语行为，我们将检验言语话语作为压力源的影响。这些形式是TSST(Trier社会压力任务)的变体，该任务将根据对上述群体成员的语言暴力经历的调查而制定。实验数据将与关于实验情景的主观体验的叙述相关联，这将在实验后的访谈中收集。通过定量和定性相结合的方法，我们将结合情景、传记、生理等因素来探讨言语暴力是如何从语言使用中产生的。这应该导致一种压力和言语暴力的综合模式。

The aim of the project is to contribute to a better understanding of the origins and effects of verbal violence in the context of migration, thanks to a combination of approaches within Psychological Stress Research and Linguistics. It takes the constructs of face (i.e., the social self-image) and perlocution (a concept from Speech Act Theory which refers to the effects of verbal acts) as a starting points, in order to operationalize them in the context of psychological theories of stress. These concepts still lack empirical support in Linguistics, while research into stress has largely excluded the subjective self-image from analysis. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the project combines approaches from both disciplines by operationalizing perlocution (in the case of verbal violence: face threat) in terms of a physiological stress reaction. In experimental formats in which subjects with (family) origins in Latin America and Turkey are exposed (or not) to potentially violent speech acts, we will examine the effects of verbal utterances as stressors. These formats are variations of the TSST (Trier social stress task), which will be developed based on a survey of experiences of linguistic violence among members of the groups mentioned above. The experimental data will be correlated with narratives regarding the subjective experience of the experimental situation, which will be collected in interviews following the experiments. Through the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, we will explore how verbal violence emerges from language use, in combination with situational, biographical, physiological and other factors. This should result in an integrative model of stress and verbal violence.
