臺灣博碩士論文加值系統

本研究藉由語料庫分析檢視從2000年到2016年的《台北時報》和《中國時報》的語料來探討台灣人對同性婚姻的態度。藉由搜尋同性婚姻前面的關鍵字，我可以了解到那段期間人們對同性婚姻的態度。一般而言，像是oppose, against, protest, resist, 和 rebel等關鍵字暗示著負面的態度。相反的，關鍵字像是agree, permit, allow, approve, consent 等象徵了正面和接受的態度。在本研究中，語料顯示2000年到2016年在台灣的人對同性婚姻的看法以及態度有些改變。為了清楚了解到不同時期台灣人們對同性婚姻的看法以及在態度方面是如何的轉變，本研究除了搜尋關鍵字，更仔細檢視從2000年到2016年的《台北時報》和《中國時報》有關同性婚姻報導的全篇語料以便了解人們對同性婚姻的態度。本研究亦探討兩性平權在台灣的發展以及人們贊成和反對同性婚姻的原因。
關鍵字: 以語料庫為基礎的分析、同性婚姻、態度、《台北時報》、《中國時報》

This study looks into Taiwanese attitudes toward gay marriage by analyzing the corpus of The Taipei Times and The China Post from 2000 to 2016. By examining the verbs before the keyword ‘gay marriage’ and ‘same-sex marriage’ I was able to learn about people’s attitudes toward gay marriage during a certain period of time. In general, words such as oppose, against, protest, resist, and rebel before the keyword suggested a negative attitude. In contrast, words like agree, permit, allow, approve, consent, and so on indicated a positive and accepting attitude. The corpus illustrates the change of concepts about gay marriage in Taiwan, allowing us to clearly see Taiwanese people’s attitudes toward gay marriage in different periods of time and how those attitudes have changed over time. In addition to looking at keywords, I also examined the surrounding context to better understand the period in question; this made it possible to grasp people’s attitudes toward gay marriage then. Using this corpus, we can learn more about people’s attitudes toward same-sex marriage and understand why Taiwanese people change their minds over time. Keywords: a corpus-based analysis, gay marriage, same-sex marriage, attitude, The China Post, The Taipei Times.
