老挝人民民主共和国的国家建设项目受到了在其政治意识形态下统一这个多民族国家的任务的挑战。老挝国家广播电台以克木语和苗族语广播是少数民族语言的唯一官方声音，并提供了如何向人民发送政治信息的见解。在制作节目材料时，广播公司必须将共产党的社会主义意识形态翻译成政治上正确、文化上可接受的语言。在这个过程中，他们正在用两种语言建立一个政治登记册，这种登记册深受老挝语的语言结构的影响。本文考察了这两种广播，以了解广播中的语言使用如何影响传递给听众的信息，通过教授人们一种新的政治语言来增强动员的呼吁，这种语言不仅反映在词汇方面，而且反映在其翻译的句法和音韵上。其结果是一种跨越民族语言界限的说话方式，以加强对国家的控制。
The nation-building project of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic has been challenged by the task of uniting the multi-ethnic country under its political ideology. The Lao National Radio broadcasts in the Khmu and Hmong languages are the only official voice of minority languages and provide insights on how political messages are sent to the population. In their creation of programming material, the broadcasters must translate the socialist ideology of the Communist Party into language that is politically correct and culturally acceptable. In the process, they are creating a political register in the two languages that is heavily influenced by the linguistic structures of Lao. This article examines these two broadcasts to see how language use at the radio effects the message that is delivered to the listeners, enhancing the calls for mobilisation by teaching the people a new political language reflected not only in terms of lexicon, but also in the syntax and phonology of their translations. The result is a way of speaking that crosses ethno-linguistic boundaries to reinforce the control of the state.
