在《多语言世界中的话语与权力》一书中,英国政治家和政策制定者的话语将英语以外的语言,以及这些语言的使用者,与社会混乱和对民主、公民权和国家地位的威胁联系起来。这些强有力的论点沿着“话语链”传播,直到它们获得国家的合法性,并被写入法律。本卷的特别重点是2001年英国“种族骚乱”与2002年《国籍、移民和庇护法》的联系,该法扩大了立法范围,以测试英国公民申请人的英语能力。Adrian Blackledge发展了一个理论和方法框架,它利用批评性话语分析来揭示社会和文化过程和结构的语言特征;巴赫金的话语对话本质概念来展示声音如何逐渐获得权威;以及布迪厄的象征统治模型,以阐明语言少数民族的发言者可能是错误认识或价值稳定的同谋,占主导地位的语言
In Discourse and Power in a Multilingual World the discourse of politicians and policy-makers in Britain links languages other than English, and therefore speakers of these languages, with civil disorder and threats to democracy, citizenship and nationhood. These powerful arguments travel along ‘chains of discourse’ until they gain the legitimacy of the state, and are inscribed in law. The particular focus of this volume is on discourse linking ‘race riots’ in England in 2001 with the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 , which extended legislation to test the English language proficiency of British citizenship applicants. Adrian Blackledge develops a theoretical and methodological framework which draws on critical discourse analysis to reveal the linguistic character of social and cultural processes and structures; on Bakhtin’s notion of the dialogic nature of discourse to demonstrate how voices progressively gain authority; and on Bourdieu’s model of symbolic domination to illuminate the way in which linguistic-minority speakers may be complicit in the misrecognition, or valorisation, of the dominant language.
