Abstract

The EU currently has 11 official and working languages. There is a considerable amount of dissatisfaction regarding both the practicalities and the costs of institutional multilingualism and the ongoing linguistic homogenization through the informal use of international English, but politicians are careful to avoid this sensitive issue because there seems to be no possible compromise between improving EU-wide communication and respecting national linguistic identities. This article applies grid-group cultural theory to reveal alternative ways to conceptualize communication between individuals who speak different languages, and consequently to identify strategies to overcome linguistic barriers and to justify linguistic policies for supranational institutions and transnational encounters.

应对欧盟的多种语言:文化理论、理性和语言政策
欧盟目前有11种官方语言和工作语言。对于多语言制度的实用性和成本,以及通过非正式使用国际英语正在进行的语言同质化,都有相当多的不满,但政治家们小心翼翼地避免这个敏感问题,因为在改善欧盟范围内的沟通和尊重国家语言身份之间似乎没有可能的妥协。本文运用网格群体文化理论揭示了将讲不同语言的个体之间的交流概念化的替代方法,从而确定克服语言障碍的策略,并为超国家机构和跨国接触辩护语言政策。
