摘要
语言忠诚一般被看作是语言态度的一种,在多语社会和多语人的语言认同中发挥着决定性的作用。语言忠诚现象在移民群体中最为典型,在超国家、国家和亚国家3个层面都有所体现。它可以在不同的场域/功能域有所呈现,影响因素也是多种多样的。语言忠诚在民族、文化、国家这3个维度的认同中的表现比较复杂。它有好几种类型,几类之间构成了一个忠诚度连续统。语言忠诚是个中性短语,应当以相对的眼光,将之放在不同利益群体、不同层面、不同视角的背景中来具体分析其利弊。
This paper attempts to present a comprehensive review about various aspects of an important concept in language policy studies, language loyalty. Having been treated as a composition of language attitudes, it plays a vital role in language identity for a multilingual in a multilingual society. Language loyalty as a phenomenon is typically seen in immigration community and to some extents manifested in all three levels of supranational, national and semi-national establishments. Language loyalty also works in different registers and functional domains. There are a number of factors that can have an impact on language loyalty and it has a complex embodiment in the three dimensions of nationality, culture and state. When it comes to categorization, language loyalty forms a loyalty continuum that consists of a number of types. ‘Language Loyalty’ should be seen as a neutral concept that should not be oversimplified as good or bad. Its positive or negative role should be analyzed with relative views against the interest of a specific party and evaluated at different levels and from different perspectives in a specific context.
