In a globalised world, national discourses are also perceived and commented on in other countries and languages. This paper focuses on newspaper coverage of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum in both Scotland and Germany, comparing two print media corpora in two languages. The linguistic depiction of the arguments and conflicts in Scottish newspapers is compared to the discussion of Scottish independence in German newspapers. In order to find conflictive ‘hotspots’ in both corpora, adversative and concessive connectors of both languages are taken as a starting point for a comparative conflict-oriented discourse analysis in seven steps. Differences and similarities of the most important conflicting concepts as well as the role of stereotypes and language difference are then compared and discussed.

比较冲突

在全球化的世界中，民族话语也被其他国家和语言所感知和评论。本文重点关注报纸对 2014 年苏格兰和德国苏格兰独立公投的报道，比较两种语言的两种印刷媒体语料库。苏格兰报纸对争论和冲突的语言描述与德国报纸对苏格兰独立的讨论进行了比较。为了在两个语料库中找到冲突的“热点”，以两种语言的对立和让步连接符作为起点，分七个步骤进行比较冲突导向的话语分析。然后比较和讨论最重要的冲突概念的异同，以及刻板印象和语言差异的作用。
