This article examines how communicative resources affect the construction of credible texts and identities in a public debate on Australia's treatment of a refugee. It centres on two key written statements—one from the Immigration Minister, and another from a Somali refugee. The analysis is divided into four levels, exploring the parties’ respective linguistic, material, identity, and platform resources, and how these impact their statements’ creation and reception, and their participation in discourse creation more generally. The article finds that there are inequalities on all four resource levels that largely undermine the refugee's ability to present a credible text and identity and challenge mainstream discourse on refugees. The article demonstrates how a multi-level analysis of communicative resources can challenge assumptions about participation and uncover inequalities invisible in the prevailing discourse.

难民公共话语中的交流资源和可信度

本文探讨了在关于澳大利亚对待难民的公开辩论中，交流资源如何影响可信文本和身份的构建。它以两份重要的书面声明为中心——一份来自移民部长，另一份来自一名索马里难民。分析分为四个层次，探讨各方各自的语言、材料、身份和平台资源，以及这些资源如何影响其陈述的创作和接受，以及更广泛地参与话语创作。文章发现，在所有四个资源水平上都存在不平等，这在很大程度上削弱了难民呈现可信文本和身份以及挑战关于难民的主流话语的能力。这篇文章展示了对交流资源的多层次分析如何挑战关于参与的假设并揭示流行话语中不可见的不平等。（庇护、澳大利亚、交流资源、话语、跨文化交流、媒体、权力、难民）*
