亚历山大Duchêne追溯了多语使用被学者和其他人理解和重视的方式,展示了社会语言学的工作如何戏剧性地将多语使用者和社会的形象从民族国家的问题转变为值得庆祝的事情,甚至作为少数民族语言使用者的社会正义的指标和贡献者。他接着认为,这种对多种语言的认可和承认,可以转移人们对更广泛的不平等的注意力,尤其是社会经济不平等,而多语言是无法解决的。
Abstract Tracing the ways in which multilingualism has been understood and valued by scholars and beyond, Alexandre Duchêne shows how the work of sociolinguistics dramatically shifted the image of multilingual speakers and societies as a problem for nation-states to something to be celebrated, even as an indicator and contributor to social justice for minority language speakers. He then goes on to argue that this validation and recognition of multiple languages can divert attention away from broader inequalities, especially socioeconomic ones, that multilingualism is unable to address.
