项目摘要

The study focuses on symbolic functions of language in the era of globalisation. Through processes of global integration, they are becoming more diverse and complex; and yet, the traditional predominance of linguistic nationalism - the assumed congruence between a people and a language - has hindered the understanding of the multiple symbolic meanings of languages in multilingual settings. The Central American country of Belize is the focus of this study. Due to the high number of languages spoken, also on the individual level, Belize represents an extreme case of linguistic diversity, making it an excellent environment for studying post-national sociolinguistic trends. Key questions of the study are: What are the symbolic meanings of language choice or language mixing? With which other societal or political discourses are such meanings interwoven? How does governmental language policy react to complex linguistic milieus? Does the complexity affect the discursively constructed category of language?The study will conduct qualitative analysis of language ideologies in Belize. An overview of the country's sociolinguistic economy will be provided on the basis of historical, scholarly and governmental texts, and, secondly, grounded on an analysis of popular cultural discourses in public media. That forms the background to two other domains in which language ideologies will be studied: a discursive analysis of governmental language policies and a linguistic ethnography of the language practices of a Belizean school class.The documented social meanings of language choice and their relations to local, national or transnational discourses map out the complexity of language ideologies in multilingual societies. The consequences are discussed in relation to applied contexts such as school curricula, national language policies and the constitution of community in contemporary society, and in their significance for (socio)linguistic theory.

该研究的重点是语言在全球化时代的象征功能。通过全球一体化进程，它们变得更加多样化和复杂;然而，传统上占主导地位的语言民族主义-一个民族与一种语言之间的假定一致性-阻碍了对多语言环境中语言的多重象征意义的理解。中美洲国家伯利兹是本研究的重点。由于在个人层面上使用的语言数量众多，伯利兹是语言多样性的极端例子，使其成为研究后国家社会语言趋势的绝佳环境。研究的关键问题是：语言选择或语言混合的象征意义是什么？这些意义与其他哪些社会或政治话语交织在一起？政府语言政策如何应对复杂的语言环境？语言的复杂性是否影响话语建构的语言范畴？这项研究将对伯利兹的语言意识形态进行定性分析。国家的社会语言经济的概述将提供的历史，学术和政府文本的基础上，其次，在公共媒体的流行文化话语的分析为基础。这构成了语言意识形态研究的另外两个领域的背景：对政府语言政策的话语分析和对伯利兹学校班级语言实践的语言民族志，记录了语言选择的社会意义及其与地方、国家或跨国话语的关系，描绘了多语言社会中语言意识形态的复杂性。其后果进行了讨论的应用背景下，如学校课程，国家语言政策和宪法的社区在当代社会，并在其意义（社会）语言理论。
