Abstract Language inevitably plays a key part in the infrastructure of transnational domestic work. Many who work and have worked in the domestic sector in Sweden have Swedish as their second language. The object of this study is to investigate the ways in which this fact is reflected in the marketing of domestic work historically as well as currently. Drawing on two datasets – personal advertisements by job seekers published in a Swedish daily during the twentieth century, and corporate marketing by contemporary cleaning agencies – the study discusses how references not only to language competence, but also to prospective language learning are used in the marketing of domestic work. While the phenomenon of domestic work, especially when performed by migrants, has been a resilient space of upset in the Swedish society for the last hundred years, the article argues that references to language are used to navigate tensions.
摘要语言在跨国家务工作的基础设施中不可避免地起着关键作用。许多在瑞典国内部门工作和曾经工作过的人都以瑞典语为第二语言。本研究的目的是调查的方式,其中这一事实是反映在市场上的家务工作的历史和目前。利用两个数据集——20世纪在瑞典一家日报上发表的求职者的个人广告,以及当代清洁机构的企业营销——该研究讨论了如何不仅参考语言能力,而且参考前瞻性语言学习在家政工作的营销中使用。虽然家务劳动现象,特别是由移民从事的家务劳动,在过去的一百年里一直是瑞典社会中一种有弹性的不安空间,但文章认为,语言的参考是用来解决紧张局势的。

Introduction: spaces of upset in the Nordic region 引言:北欧地区的混乱空间

Abstract This introductory article opens the thematic issue Spaces of Upset in the Nordic Region. It introduces the contributions of the issue, outlines the concepts that unite them, and discusses the sociolinguistic area in which they are set: the Nordic region. Centering on Denmark, Finland and Sweden, the article offers an overview of some of the sociolinguistic, ideological and political characteristics of the region and the countries it comprises. The Nordic region is widely seen as a paradigm case of social stability, consensus and cohesion. This vision is, however, a mirage. To be sure, upset often lingers below the discursive veneer of Nordic harmony, concord and agreement. Breaking with this outlook, this thematic issue takes a closer look at some of the antipodes of this sociolinguistic and ideological condition. Its contributions engage with ‘spaces of upset’, that is, with manifestations and experiences of sociolinguistic rupture, upheaval or change, in and through which visions of sociolinguistic stability and cohesion are disrupted and challenged. These spaces of upset bear witness to social, ideological and linguistic tensions and changes, be they incipient, enduring or surpassed. They accordingly provide a new take on processes of continuity and change, pointing out the ideological faultlines of the orders they disrupt, or upset.
这篇导论文章打开了北欧地区不安的主题问题空间。它介绍了该问题的贡献,概述了将它们联合起来的概念,并讨论了它们所处的社会语言学领域:北欧地区。本文以丹麦、芬兰和瑞典为中心,概述了该地区及其所组成国家的一些社会语言学、意识形态和政治特征。北欧地区被广泛视为社会稳定、共识和凝聚力的典范。然而,这一愿景只是海市蜃楼。可以肯定的是,在北欧人和谐、和谐和一致的话语表象之下,心烦意乱的情绪常常挥之不去。打破这种观点,这个主题问题更仔细地审视了这种社会语言学和意识形态状况的一些对立面。它的贡献涉及“不安的空间”,即社会语言学断裂、剧变或变化的表现和经验,社会语言学稳定和凝聚力的愿景在其中受到破坏和挑战。这些不安的空间见证了社会、意识形态和语言的紧张和变化,无论是初期的、持久的还是超越的。因此,它们为连续性和变化的过程提供了一种新的视角,指出了它们所破坏或颠覆的秩序的意识形态断层。

Making the case for linguicism: revisiting theoretical concepts and terminologies in linguistic discrimination research 为语言主义辩护:重新审视语言歧视研究中的理论概念和术语

Abstract In an effort to foreground the concept of linguicism, this article provides a critical review of the research literature on linguistic discrimination, focusing on common concepts and terms applied to characterise the issue. Giving particular attention to studies which directly consider discrimination based on language or linguistic factors, we identify three main groups of concepts and terms which are widely used, including (a) race-based concepts, (b) language variation-based concepts and (c) general terms. The construction, meaning and usage of the concept of ‘linguicism’ are discussed separately from these three groups. Although race-based concepts, language variation-based concepts and general terms are extremely useful for particular research purposes, they may not be applicable to describe all or other forms of linguistic discrimination. It is argued that linguicism is a powerful theoretical construct, which can be used as an umbrella concept to capture the full range of linguistic discrimination issues. Suggestions are also presented for future research in relation to social factors associated with linguistic discrimination and research context, which is important to shed light on otherwise potentially unheard voices in linguistic discrimination scholarship.
摘要为了突出语言主义的概念,本文对语言歧视的研究文献进行了批判性的回顾,重点介绍了用于描述这一问题的常见概念和术语。特别关注直接考虑基于语言或语言因素的歧视的研究,我们确定了三组广泛使用的主要概念和术语,包括(a)基于种族的概念、(b)基于语言变异的概念和(c)通用术语。“语言主义”概念的构成、意义和用法分别从这三个方面进行了论述。尽管基于种族的概念、基于语言变异的概念和通用术语对于特定的研究目的非常有用,但它们可能不适用于描述所有或其他形式的语言歧视。有人认为语言主义是一个强大的理论建构,它可以作为一个总括概念来捕捉语言歧视的全部问题。还就与语言歧视相关的社会因素和研究背景提出了未来研究的建议,这对于阐明语言歧视学术中可能闻所未闻的声音很重要。

Foreign language ideology and American Sign Language in US public education 美国公共教育中的外语意识形态与美国手语

Abstract American Sign Language has been used at schools and programs for signing deaf and hard of hearing students in US history. Recently, American Sign Language (ASL) was offered as a foreign language to students who speak and hear for foreign language credit at American secondary schools. The movement of the language from its place in deaf education to one of the foreign languages taught in public general education is due to changing ideologies about ASL as a language and as a foreign language. Studies in spoken foreign language ideologies in education presumed ties between languages and national and sub-national ethnic and migrant language groups. No national and sub-national ethnic and migrant language groups have sign language as their mother tongue or are dominated by a signing populace. It raises theoretical issues in foreign language ideology, education, and sign language. Theoretical implications of this study for foreign language ideologies in education are discussed.
摘要美国手语在美国历史上一直被学校和项目用于手语聋人和重听学生。最近,美国手语(ASL)被作为一门外语提供给在美国中学口语和听力考试中获得外语学分的学生。该语言从其在聋人教育中的地位转变为公共普通教育中教授的外语之一,是由于ASL作为一种语言和一种外语的意识形态发生了变化。在教育中对外语口语意识形态的研究假设了语言与民族和次民族以及移民语言群体之间的联系。没有一个民族、次民族和移民语言群体以手语为母语,或者由手语人群主导。它提出了外语思想、教育和手语方面的理论问题。讨论了这项研究对外语教育思想的理论启示。

Abstract This article deals with the powerful role of metaphors in the process of Language Making throughout the history of linguistics. It departs from the assumption that metaphors play an essential role both in the formation of scientific theories and in common conceptions of language. We want to illuminate to what extent metaphors are involved in language ideologies, and we investigate their role in linguistic theory formation. After introducing different approaches to metaphor theory, we show how metaphorization in linguistics can lead to biological, territorial and liquid concepts of language. Finally, we discuss the need for a re-evaluation of language concepts within the discipline.
摘要本文论述了语言学史上隐喻在语言形成过程中的强大作用。它背离了隐喻在科学理论的形成和语言的共同概念中都发挥着重要作用的假设。我们想阐明隐喻在多大程度上涉及语言意识形态,并研究它们在语言学理论形成中的作用。在介绍了隐喻理论的不同方法之后,我们展示了语言学中的隐喻如何产生语言的生物概念、领域概念和流动概念。最后,我们讨论了在学科中重新评估语言概念的必要性。

New speakers and Language Making: conscious creation of a colloquial Basque register in the city of Bilbao 新使用者和语言制作:毕尔巴鄂市巴斯克语口语登记册的有意识创造

Abstract This article examines the processes of Language and Speaker Making in the revitalization context of the Basque Country. The focus is on a group of new Basque speakers who, as active agents, engage in grassroots Language Making by literally making their own variety of colloquial Basque for their intragroup use. Due to a tradition of speaking the minority language in tight-knit communities, the Basque community places a high value on local solidarity. The Basque standard Batua and new speakers of Basque are not considered as authentic as the traditional speakers and their local vernaculars. The new Basque speakers described in the article are language activists who, conscious of the perceived formality of Batua, construct their group register mixing and matching resources from Spanish, Basque dialects and the Basque standard. They flaunt their verbal dexterity in performative language play, yet at the same time pay respect to the Basque tradition of local linguistic practice. In this process, they combine old and new values of being euskaldun, and claim their identity as new and urban, yet full speakers of Basque.
摘要本文考察了巴斯克地区复兴背景下的语言和说话人制作过程。重点是一群新的巴斯克语使用者,他们作为活跃的代理人,通过字面上制作他们自己的各种口语化巴斯克语来参与基层语言制作,供他们在群体内使用。由于在紧密联系的社区中使用少数民族语言的传统,巴斯克社区非常重视当地的团结。巴斯克标准的巴图亚语和巴斯克语的新使用者被认为不如传统使用者和他们的当地方言可信。文章中描述的新巴斯克语使用者是语言活动家,他们意识到巴图亚语的正式性,将西班牙语、巴斯克方言和巴斯克标准的资源混合和匹配,构建了他们的群体语域。他们在表演语言游戏中炫耀自己的语言灵巧性,但同时也尊重当地语言实践的巴斯克传统。在这个过程中,他们结合了euskaldun的新旧价值观,并声称他们是新的和城市的,但却完全讲巴斯克语。

What is “Language Making”? 什么是“语言制作”?

Abstract This article introduces a new concept called “Language Making”. The term covers all kinds of processes in which speakers or non-speakers collectively conceptualize linguistic entities. Such processes are usually perpetual, they operate based on language ideologies and attitudes, and they bring about functional and structural norms which determine the boundaries of linguistic entities such as languages, dialects or varieties. The article discusses the significance of standardization, language policy and planning, and of stakeholders and agency for processes of Language Making. Raising the question as to why a new concept is needed in the first place, the article concludes with a demarcation of Language Making from opposite processes which may be called “un-Making” of Languages.
本文介绍了一个新的概念——“语言制造”。这个术语涵盖了说话者或非说话者集体概念化语言实体的各种过程。这些过程通常是永恒的,它们以语言的意识形态和态度为基础,它们带来了功能和结构规范,这些规范决定了语言、方言或变体等语言实体的边界。本文讨论了标准化、语言政策和规划以及利益相关者和中介机构在语言制造过程中的重要性。在提出为什么首先需要一个新概念的问题时,文章最后将语言制造与相反的过程进行了划分,这可以称为语言的“非制造”。

Translating into an endangered language: filling in lexical gaps as Language Making 翻译成一种濒危语言:填补词汇空白作为语言制造

Abstract In this article, we analyse translation in the context of revitalisation from the point of view of Language Making. Both translation and revitalisation are based on the idea of languages as distinct entities, and together they are doubly inclined to draw clear-cut borders between languages. The data come from a series of translation courses targeted at speakers and learners of Karelian, a critically endangered Finnic language spoken in Finland and Russia. By analysing the reflective assignments of the translation course participants and focusing on how they report on encountering and overcoming lexical gaps, we examine a very concrete case of Language Making: the creation of new lexical items for Karelian for the purposes of a translation task. Since coining neologisms in our data is mostly based on borrowing or calquing, the data illustrate how the participants perceive language boundaries and the connections between Karelian and other languages. Contrary to what the intersection between translation and revitalisation suggests, a rather flexible view on linguistic borders is displayed. Participants fill in lexical gaps by drawing on all linguistic resources available to them: mainly Finnish and Russian, but also “international” resources and occasionally other languages or other Karelian dialects. To a lesser extent, the data also display the participants’ competing and conflicting ideologies of what is Karelian, what belongs to it and on which or whose model to base the neologisms.
摘要本文从语言生成的角度来分析振兴语境下的翻译。翻译和振兴都是基于语言作为不同实体的理念,它们共同倾向于在语言之间划出清晰的边界。这些数据来自一系列针对卡累利阿语使用者和学习者的翻译课程,卡累利语是芬兰和俄罗斯使用的一种极度濒危的芬兰人语言。通过分析翻译课程参与者的反思性作业,并关注他们如何报告遇到和克服词汇差距,我们研究了一个非常具体的语言制作案例:为翻译任务的目的为卡累利阿语创造新的词汇项目。由于在我们的数据中创造新词主要是基于借用或考据,因此这些数据说明了参与者如何感知语言边界以及卡累利阿语与其他语言之间的联系。与翻译和振兴之间的交叉点所表明的相反,对语言边界的看法相当灵活。参与者通过利用所有可用的语言资源来填补词汇空白:主要是芬兰语和俄语,也有“国际”资源,偶尔还有其他语言或其他卡累利阿方言。在较小程度上,数据还显示了参与者对什么是卡累利阿、什么属于它以及新词基于哪个或谁的模型的相互竞争和冲突的意识形态。

Teachers as foreign Language Makers: on standard language ideology, authenticity and language expertise 教师作为外语制造者:论标准语言思想、真实性与语言专业知识

Abstract The aim of this article is twofold: first, we apply the concept of “Language Making” – which is introduced in this thematic issue – to the domain of foreign language learning and teaching. More specifically, we investigate the role of teachers, as well as other social actors in the domain of foreign language education, in the making of foreign languages, i.e., their role in selecting varieties and forms that they deem appropriate to be learned. We assess how they justify their selections and which language ideologies inform their choices. A specific focus is on how these “foreign Language Makers” construe their linguistic expertise: how do they argue for the legitimacy of their “foreign Language Making”? Second, we argue that present day conceptions of the “ideal language teacher” have their roots in the past. Therefore, we include two case studies: our first case study zooms in on the Early Modern period and draws on introductions to foreign language textbooks from the 16th and 17th centuries. Our main sources are the multilingual textbooks of the Colloquia, et dictionariolum as well as the work of Gerard De Vivre, a language teacher and textbook author from Ghent who published French language textbooks for Dutch- and German-speaking learners in the second half of the 16th century. The second case study focuses on present-day teachers who teach Dutch as a foreign language at universities outside of the Dutch-speaking language area. For this analysis, we make use of data from qualitative interviews with 20 teachers, collected in 2015. We analyse, contrast and compare these cases, thereby taking into account the dynamics of socio-political and language ideological changes of the past centuries.
本文的目的有两个:首先,我们将本专题所介绍的“语言制造”的概念应用到外语学习和教学领域。更具体地说,我们研究了教师以及外语教育领域的其他社会行动者在外语形成中的作用,即他们在选择他们认为适合学习的种类和形式方面的作用。我们评估他们如何为自己的选择辩护,以及哪些语言意识形态影响了他们的选择。一个特别的焦点是这些“外语制造者”如何解释他们的语言专业知识:他们如何为他们的“外语制造者”的合法性辩护?其次,我们认为当今“理想语言教师”的概念有其过去的根源。因此,我们包括两个案例研究:我们的第一个案例研究聚焦于近代早期,并借鉴了16世纪和17世纪外语教科书的介绍。我们的主要资料来源是Colloquia, et dictionarium的多语种教科书,以及来自根特的语言教师和教科书作者Gerard De Vivre的作品,他在16世纪下半叶为荷兰语和德语学习者出版了法语教科书。第二个案例研究的重点是当今在荷兰语地区以外的大学教授荷兰语作为外语的教师。在这一分析中,我们使用了2015年收集的20名教师的定性访谈数据。我们分析、对比和比较这些案例,从而考虑到过去几个世纪的社会政治和语言意识形态变化的动态。

Abstract This article investigates Language Making processes in multilingual postcolonial societies where Creole languages are spoken. It raises the question whether or not Language Making in these settings differs from other contexts given the historical preconditions and social, economic, or political inequalities which persist after the colonial period. The paper discusses the potentials of Language Making to support or impede efforts of decolonization. With the help of examples from several Creole-speaking societies, it shows different approaches to conceptualizing Creole languages as linguistic entities with the creation or emergence of norms, different naming strategies or through language policy and planning. It examines the potential contribution of different agents of Language Making and illustrates cases in which Language Making is countered or languages are un-made. As a conclusion, the article shows that the concept of Language Making may need further expansion or nuancing in order to avoid a “Northern” or “Western” bias.
摘要本文研究了多语言后殖民社会中使用克里奥尔语的语言制作过程。它提出了这样一个问题:在这些背景下的语言制作是否与其他背景不同,因为历史前提和殖民时期之后持续存在的社会、经济或政治不平等。本文讨论了语言制造在支持或阻碍非殖民化努力方面的潜力。在几个讲克里奥尔语的社会的例子的帮助下,它显示了将克里奥尔语概念化为语言实体的不同方法,包括规范的创造或出现、不同的命名策略或通过语言政策和规划。它考察了语言制造的不同主体的潜在贡献,并举例说明了语言制造被反对或语言被取消的情况。作为结论,本文表明,语言制造的概念可能需要进一步扩展或细微差别,以避免“北方”或“西方”的偏见。
