分析气候话语中宗教语言的显隐形式,揭示检测方法的差异与挑战。

Detecting Religious Language in Climate Discourse

  • 结合规则模型与零样本大模型,双方法检测宗教语言。
  • 规则模型识别出超过88万句中的更多宗教语句,效果更敏感。
  • 适合研究宗教话语、数字人文与跨学科传播的学者参考。

宗教语言持续渗透于当代话语中,即便在看似世俗的环保行动与气候变化辩论领域亦然。本文探究世俗与宗教非政府组织(NGOs)发布的气候相关文本中,宗教语言的显性与隐性表现形式。提出双重方法:基于生态神学文献构建的分层术语树规则模型,以及零样本设置下的大语言模型(LLMs)。利用包含超过88万句子的数据集,比较两种方法的检测效果,并分析其一致与分歧点。结果显示,规则模型始终比LLMs标注出更多宗教语句。研究揭示了计算检测宗教语言的方法论难题,也凸显了宗教语言是否仅由词汇定义,还是需依赖语境意义的深层争议。本研究为宗教研究中的数字方法提供了范例,展示了分析神圣性如何在气候话语中持续存在的潜力与局限。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Religious language continues to permeate contemporary discourse, even in ostensibly secular domains such as environmental activism and climate change debates. This paper investigates how explicit and implicit forms of religious language appear in climate-related texts produced by secular and religious nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). We introduce a dual methodological approach: a rule-based model using a hierarchical tree of religious terms derived from ecotheology literature, and large language models (LLMs) operating in a zero-shot setting. Using a dataset of more than 880,000 sentences, we compare how these methods detect religious language and analyze points of agreement and divergence. The results show that the rule-based method consistently labels more sentences as religious than LLMs. These findings highlight not only the methodological challenges of computationally detecting religious language but also the broader tension over whether religious language should be defined by vocabulary alone or by contextual meaning. This study contributes to digital methods in religious studies by demonstrating both the potential and the limitations of approaches for analyzing how the sacred persists in climate discourse.
