Andekuse kollokatsioonid keelekorpustes ning laste ja lastevanemate andekustõlgitsused

Halliki Põlda

Abstract


Artikkel püüab avada andekusfenomeni sotsiaalset tähendust laiemas kultuurikontekstis ning näidata selle tõlgitsusvõimalusi laste ja lastevanemate kui fenomeniga tihedalt seotud ühiskonnarühmade arusaamades. Selleks uuritakse andekuse tõlgitsemist fenomeni sünonüümsete tähistajate sagedamate kollokatsioonide kaudu eri keelte korpustes ning laste ja lastevanemate intervjuudes. Korpuste kvantitatiivse analüüsi taustal demonstreeritakse 15 avatud intervjuu kriitilise diskursuseanalüüsi abil, missuguste keelevahendite ja seoste toel fenomeni tähendusi luuakse. Selgub, et andekust seostatakse enamasti lastega ja kindlate andelaadidega, tõstetakse esile nähtuse atraktiivsust ning eristumist. Laste jaoks on andekus mitmemõõtmeline ega saa haridussüsteemis piisavalt tähelepanu, lastevanemate jaoks on see jumala and, mis nõuab neilt pühendumist ja on koolis piisavalt toetatud. Laste arusaamade kaudu avaneb fenomeni positiivne ja koostöövalmidust pakkuv sotsiaalne tähendus.

The collocations of giftedness in language corpora and construing the phenomenon in children’s and parents’ perceptions

The study is an attempt to unfold the social meaning of the phenomenon of giftedness in expanded cultural context. Construal of the concept is first studied by the frequency of collocations of the synonymous signifiers of the term of giftedness in the Estonian Reference Corpus, German Reference Corpus, and British National Corpus.

After that, the construction of meaning of giftedness is qualitatively studied by interviewing children and parents (15 qualitative open and non-directive mode interviews). Critical discourse analysis (Fairclough 2001) is used to show the linguistic choices and their links to discourses through which the interviewees construe the concept of giftedness, pointing to certain social relations and meanings.

Results showed that giftedness was associated with childhood, highlighting the attractiveness and distinction of the phenomenon. In different languages, giftedness is associated with relatively similar features (development attractiveness, differentiation, domain-specificity) but the perceptions are different for children and parents. For children, giftedness is multidimensional but it does not get enough attention at school, whereas for parents, it is a gift from God that needs their dedication although supported by the educational system. The positive meanings of the phenomenon are made visible by children.
