Conflict or Strategy? Asymmetric Role Framing of La France insoumise and Rassemblement National in French News Headlines, 2022-2025
冲突还是策略?2022-2025年法国新闻标题中“不屈法国”与“国民联盟”的非对称角色框架
Abstract: Do French news headlines frame left- and right-populist challengers as symmetric “extremes,” or as fundamentally different political adversaries? We examine 28,592 headlines about La France insoumise (LFI) and Rassemblement National (RN) published by 25 French-language outlets between 2022 and 2025, annotated through a three-model LLM pipeline validated against a stratified human audit.
摘要: 法国新闻标题是将左翼和右翼民粹主义挑战者塑造为对称的“极端派”,还是将他们视为本质上不同的政治对手?我们研究了2022年至2025年间25家法语媒体发布的28,592条关于“不屈法国”(LFI)和“国民联盟”(RN)的新闻标题,并通过一个经过分层人工审计验证的三模型大语言模型(LLM)流水线进行了标注。
The clearest finding is role asymmetry rather than valence asymmetry: conflict framing and strategic-game framing are more robust across models and time than delegitimization, with AGGRESSOR serving as corroborating role syntax. LFI appears in headlines more often through a conflict register and RN through a strategic-electoral register.
最明确的发现是角色非对称性而非效价(正负面)非对称性:冲突框架和策略博弈框架在不同模型和时间跨度上比“去合法化”更具稳健性,其中“侵略者”(AGGRESSOR)作为辅助角色句法存在。LFI在标题中更多地以冲突语境出现,而RN则更多地以策略-选举语境出现。
This role gap is direction-stable across all three annotation models, survives bootstrapping and permutation tests, and persists across outlet families and most of 2022-2025. A secondary moral-accounting layer (who is blamed, legitimized, or cast as a victim) is structured by outlet rather than party, producing aggregate nulls that conceal some of the corpus’s most polarized patterns.
这种角色差距在所有三个标注模型中方向保持一致,经受住了自助抽样法(bootstrapping)和置换检验的考验,并在各媒体家族及2022-2025年的大部分时间里持续存在。次要的道德核算层面(谁被指责、合法化或被塑造成受害者)更多是由媒体而非政党决定的,这产生了总体上的零效应,掩盖了语料库中一些最极化的模式。
Methodologically, the annotation pipeline reveals a two-tier reliability profile: conflict and strategic-game framing achieve the strongest human validation and cross-model stability; actor role is direction-stable but treated as corroborating because its audit reliability is lower; normative-judgment constructs (legitimacy, blame) are weaker.
在方法论上,该标注流水线揭示了双层可靠性特征:冲突和策略博弈框架获得了最强的人工验证和跨模型稳定性;行动者角色在方向上是稳定的,但因其审计可靠性较低而被视为辅助性指标;规范性判断结构(合法性、指责)则较弱。
The paper contributes political-role assignment as a target for computational framing research that decomposes what valence-based measures conflate, and establishes a construct-stratified reliability framework for calibrating majority-vote LLM annotation pipelines in political text tasks.
本文将“政治角色分配”作为计算框架研究的目标,旨在拆解基于效价的测量方法所混淆的内容,并建立了一个结构分层的可靠性框架,用于校准政治文本任务中基于多数投票的大语言模型标注流水线。
