《社会语言学》的许多文章和几卷书都专门讨论了与多语言欧洲的交流有关的问题。《只讲英语》(第8卷)、《单语症是可以治愈的》(第11卷)和《欧洲身份和语言多样性》(第9卷)中的论文属于语言政策和语言社会学领域。除了对多样性的颂扬之外,人们普遍感到一种潜在的恐惧,即在管理国际公共领域的交流方面存在的实际问题可能会削弱语言多样性,导致单一的弗兰卡。在不断扩大的欧洲联盟中,民族语言数量众多,需要翻译和口译的语言对几乎无穷无尽,这是经常讨论的问题。本文试图将跨文化交际中的弗兰卡和民族语这两个部分重叠的现象纳入一个社会语言学/语言契约的框架中,考虑到弗兰卡和民族语的需要、使用和潜力。尽管跨文化交流在整个人类历史上一直在进行,但在21世纪,对它的需求可能会加剧。作为语言趋同与分化的表现形式的通用语和民族语的研究是值得国际合作研究的课题。
Many articles and several volumes of Sociolinguistica have been devoted to issues related to communication in an multilingual Europe. The papers in 'English only' (Vol. 8), 'Monolingualism is curable' (Vol. 11), and 'European identity and linguistic diversity' (Vol. 9) are in the area of language policy and sociology of language. In addition to the celebration of diversity, there is a widespread underlying fear that practical problems in managing communication in the international public domain could detract from linguistic diversity and result in a single lingua franca. This is often discussed in the context of the large number of national languages in an ever-expanding European Union and the almost infinite number of pairs of languages to be translated and interpreted. In this paper, an attempt will be made to bring two partly overlapping phenomena, Lingua Franca in inter-cultural communication and ethnolects, into a sociolinguistic/language contract framework, considering the need, use and potential of lingua franca and ethnolects. Although inter-cultural communication has been taking place throughout human history, the need for it is likely to intensify in the 21 century. The study of lingua francas and ethnolects as an expression of linguistic convergence and divergence are worthwhile topics for international collaborative research.
