摘要自20世纪80年代以来，日本刑事审判中非日语背景的被告人数量急剧增加。这对日本司法系统构成了重大挑战，它必须确保非日本被告有权以他们能够流利和准确地理解和使用的语言接受公平审判。根据作者在日本刑事法院的实地考察和对实际法庭交流的密切语言分析，并参照日本现有的法庭口译文献，我首先讨论了可能影响非日本被告语言权利的法庭口译的机会和质量问题。通过这次讨论，我探讨了社会语言学家可以为司法机构提供什么，以提高对语言权利的认识。我认为，理解对非日裔被告在双语法庭上的语言权利产生不利影响的语言意识形态，有助于政策的改变。
Abstract Since the 1980s, Japan has seen a sharp increase in the number of non-Japanese-speaking background defendants in criminal trials. This has posed a major challenge to the Japanese justice system, which must ensure non-Japanese defendants’ rights to receive a fair trial in a language that they are able to understand and use fluently and accurately. Drawing on the author’s fieldwork in Japanese criminal courts and close linguistic analysis of actual court exchanges, contextualised with reference to the existing literature on court interpreting in Japan, I first discuss the issues of access to and quality of court interpreting which may have an impact on the language rights of non-Japanese defendants. Through this discussion I explore what sociolinguists can offer the judiciary in order to raise awareness of language rights. I argue that understanding the language ideologies that have an adverse impact on the non-Japanese-background defendant’s language rights in the bilingual courtroom can contribute to policy changes.
