分析瑞士多语种新闻的时序动态,揭示语言文化如何影响媒体报道

Triangulating Temporal Dynamics in Multilingual Swiss Online News

  • 结合定量与定性方法,分析170万篇新闻文章的词汇、实体和情感变化
  • 发现德、法、意三语区报道模式差异显著,反映语言文化背景影响
  • 提出可复用框架,适合研究多语社会媒体生态的学者参考

分析多语言社会中的新闻报道可为公众话语动态与集体叙事演变提供重要洞察,但全面考虑国家媒体生态系统中语言与文化多样性之综合研究仍有限,尤其在瑞士这类复杂语境下。本文利用三角验证方法,研究瑞士三个主要语言区域(法语、德语、意大利语)数字媒体的时序趋势。我们收集并处理了超过170万篇新闻文章,采用词汇度量、命名实体识别与Wikidata关联、定向情感分析及基于共识的变点检测。为实现语言间可比性并关联本土化与文化邻近性理论,我们构建本土化画像与邻近性显著性比率。分析涵盖主题性、重复性与突发性事件。通过整合定量数据与定性解读,我们揭示瑞士数字媒体动态特征,证明三角验证在媒体研究中的有效性。结果表明不同语言区域存在显著时序模式差异,凸显语言与文化背景对报道的影响。本方法可推广至其他多语言或文化多元的媒体环境,深化对新闻受语言与文化因素塑造的理解。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Analyzing news coverage in multilingual societies can offer valuable insights into the dynamics of public discourse and the development of collective narratives, yet comprehensive studies that account for linguistic and cultural diversity within national media ecosystems remain limited, particularly in complex contexts such as Switzerland. This paper studies temporal trends in Swiss digital media across the country's three main linguistic regions, French, German, and Italian, using a triangulated methodology that combines quantitative analyses with qualitative insights. We collected and processed over 1.7 million news articles, applying lexical metrics, named entity recognition and Wikidata-based linking, targeted sentiment analysis, and consensus-based change-point detection. To enable principled cross-language comparisons and to connect to theories of domestication and cultural proximity, we derive domestication profiles together with a proximity salience ratio. Our analysis spans thematic, recurrent, and singular events. By integrating quantitative data with qualitative interpretation, we provide new insights into the dynamics of Swiss digital media and demonstrate the usefulness of triangulation in media studies. The findings reveal distinct temporal patterns and highlight how linguistic and cultural contexts influence reporting. Our approach offers a framework applicable to other multilingual or culturally diverse media environments, contributing to a deeper understanding of how news is shaped by linguistic and cultural factors.
