本文研究了伦敦一所新大学中少数民族本科生的语言多样性,这些学生被归类为来自不断扩大的参与背景。所有学生都是在英国出生并接受教育的工人阶级家庭。本文考虑了学生如何在提供英语语言补救的学术写作计划的背景下谈判多语言和双方言身份。首先,要考虑学生如何将他们的传统语言与英语联系起来。它确定了学生在学术社区中采用多语言身份立场的三种关键方式,显示了这些方式如何使学生在背景中表现出对传统语言的或弱或强的隶属关系。其次,探讨学生如何采用双方言身份定位,将学术界的“时髦”(标准英语)行为与同龄人的“俚语”(白话英语)行为进行对比。它考虑了“时髦/俚语”二元结构如何使学生建立社交网络,并在需要英语语言补习时协商自己的定位。本文主张将以英语为媒介的大学想象成多语言空间,在这种空间中,非传统少数民族学生的语言多样性主要被视为一种资产,而不是一种问题。
This paper examines linguistic diversity among minority ethnic undergraduate students categorised as from widening participation backgrounds in a new university in London. All students are British born and educated and from working-class families. The paper considers how the students negotiate multilingual and bidialectal identities within the context of an academic writing programme regarded as providing English language remediation. Firstly, there is a consideration of how the students position their heritage languages in relation to English. It identifies three key ways in which the students adopt multilingual identity positions in the academic community, showing how these allow the students to display weaker to stronger affiliation to heritage languages in the setting. Secondly, there is an exploration of how the students adopt bidialectal identity positions to contrast the ‘posh’ (standard English) practices of the academic community with the ‘slang’ (vernacular English) language practices of their peers. It considers ways in which the ‘posh/slang’ binary enables the students to establish social networks and negotiate their positioning as in need of English language remediation. The paper argues for an imagining of English-medium universities as multilingual spaces in which the linguistic diversity of non-traditional minority ethnic students is viewed primarily as an asset, rather than as a problem.
