The Comparative Study of Linguistic and Cultural Policies in Britain and America

英语文化：其动态和政策英语文化基本上是通过二战后英国的殖民统治和美国在政治和经济上的主导地位而传播的。然而，当我们仔细观察这种文化时，它的形成和发展因英语使用的程度而有所不同。此外，每个国家的英语文化都在不断变化。在这种情况下，它的未来是完全不可预测的，可能正在走向验证，日本人应该对它的动向保持敏锐的警惕。语言、文化和历史：关于叙事的形成》(Hayashi Fumiyo)后结构主义批评的最大贡献之一是，正如我们在赛义德和斯皮瓦克的作品中所看到的那样，揭示了语言、文化和历史描述背后的虚构性、叙事性或意识形态，这些被认为是客观事实。从这种新方法的角度来看，我们将和我们应该能够通过英语获得的‘世界’的概念，相当含糊和不稳定。我们应该从这个新的角度重新审视把英语规定为我们的第二共同语言的想法。

English Culture : Its Dynamics and Policies' (SAITO Yoshifumi)English culture has spread itself basically through the colonization of Britain and the political and economical dominance of the United States after the World War II. However, when we take a closer look at the culture, its formation and development vary according to the extent to which English is used. Furthermore, the English culture of each country is ever-changing. Such being the case, its future, probably moving toward verification, is completely unpredictable and Japanese people should be keenly alert to its movements.Language, Culture and History : On the Formation of Narrative' (HAYASHI Fumiyo)One of the greatest contributions of post-structuralist criticism is, as we can see in the works by Said and Spivak, the unveiling of the fictionality, narrativity, or ideologies behind descriptions of language, culture and history, which have been assumed to be objective facts. From the point of view of this new approach, we will and the idea of the 'world', to which we are supposed to be able to gain access through English, rather ambiguous and unsteady. We should take a renewed look at the idea of stipulating English as our second common language from this new perspective.
