本研究用计算方法分析美国历史报纸中亚裔工人的话语呈现，发现“苦力”一词在不同州及南北报纸中存在语义差异，并揭示了亚裔遭受的种族主义，补充了定性研究。
摘要：
警告：本文包含针对边缘化群体的冒犯性语言示例。历史文本的数字化使得研究者能够用计算方法探索大规模的历史文本语料库。在本研究中，我们对一个相对未被充分研究的主题——美国历史报纸中亚裔工人如何被呈现——进行了计算文本分析。我们发现，“苦力”（coolie）一词在某些州（如马萨诸塞州、罗德岛州、怀俄明州、俄克拉何马州和阿肯色州）的语义有所不同，围绕“苦力”的话语也存在差异。我们还通过测量过度呈现的词汇发现，当时南方邦联报纸和北方联邦报纸形成了截然不同的话语。来自当时南方邦联州的报纸将“苦力”与奴隶制相关词汇联系在一起。此外，我们发现亚裔被视为低于欧洲移民，并成为种族主义攻击的目标。本研究通过定量话语分析，为美国种族主义的定性分析提供了补充。
英文摘要：
Warning: This paper contains examples of offensive language targetting marginalized population. The digitization of historical texts invites researchers to explore the large-scale corpus of historical texts with computational methods. In this study, we present computational text analysis on a relatively understudied topic of how Asian workers are represented in historical newspapers in the United States. We found that the word "coolie" was semantically different in some States (e.g., Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Arkansas) with the different discourses around coolie. We also found that then-Confederate newspapers and then-Union newspapers formed distinctive discourses by measuring over-represented words. Newspapers from then-Confederate States associated coolie with slavery-related words. In addition, we found Asians were perceived to be inferior to European immigrants and subjected to the target of racism. This study contributes to supplementing the qualitative analysis of racism in the United States with quantitative discourse analysis.
