在意大利,米兰理工大学决定从2014年起在所有硕士和博士课程中只采用英语,这引起了激烈的辩论,并引发了诉讼。该文件审查了该决定的支持者提出的论点以及反对者的主张,并分析了判决该案件的法院的结论,对PoliMi作出裁决。然后,报告重点介绍了PoliMi的网站,以核实该机构的政策是如何实际执行的。介绍了网站的总体结构,特别注意不同的语言版本,然后分析了一小部分关于课程介绍的文本。本文通过对意大利语和英语两个版本的文本进行比较,旨在探讨两个版本之间的关系,突出语言选择如何话语地反映和构建不同的意识形态态度的差异。
: In Italy the decision of the Politecnico di Milano concerning the exclusive adoption of English in all MA and PhD courses starting from 2014 gave rise to a heated debate and triggered a lawsuit. The paper examines the arguments put forth by the advocates of the decision as well as the claims of the opponents, and analyzes the conclusions of the Court which judged the case, ruling against PoliMi. It then focuses on PoliMi ’ s website, with a view to verifying how the policy of the institution is practically implemented. The overall structure of the site is described, with special attention for the di ff erent language versions, and then a small sample of texts concerning the presentation of courses is analyzed. The comparison between the Italian and the English versions of the texts aims to investigate the relationship between them, highlighting di ff erences that reveal how language choices discursively re fl ect and construct di ff erent ideological attitudes.
