摘要

本文采用民族志方法调查加纳城市市场阿博布罗西(Agbogbloshie)流动儿童语言技能形成的交际实践。类似的研究通过关注移民中的语言转移和丧失来讨论语言与移民之间的关系;本文认为,在复杂的语言多样性空间中,移民在其空间的社会和经济动态的推动下,在日常生活中做出语言选择,从而导致复杂、异质的语言技能和实践的发展。数据收集自托儿中心和流动儿童家庭的互动,流动儿童白天与同伴和照顾者在一起,晚上和周末与家人在一起。数据显示,当移民父母与他们的移民子女协商他们自己的多语言实践时,移民儿童通过与托儿中心和社区的照顾者和同龄人的关系和互动扩大了他们的语言库,导致他们的父母和照顾者都不一定拥有的异质语言实践的发展。文章的结论是,移民可能导致复杂的语言多样性。该研究有助于从本土视角看待语言多样性,并有助于我们对超多样化的结构和性质的理解。

Negotiating Linguistic Disruptions and Connections in Migratory Contexts: Language Practices among Child Migrants in an Urban Market in Ghana

This article employs ethnographic methods to investigate communicative practices that shape the linguistic repertoires of child migrants in Agbogbloshie, an urban market in Ghana. Similar studies discuss the relationship between language and migration by focusing on language shift and loss among migrants; this article argues that migrants in complex linguistically diverse spaces—motivated by both social and economic dynamics of their space—make linguistic choices while negotiating their daily lives that lead to the development of complex, heterogeneous linguistic repertoires and practices. Data were gathered from interactions at childcare centers, where child migrants spend the day with peers and caregivers, and migrant homes, where child migrants spend the evenings and weekends with their families. The data reveal that while migrant parents negotiate their own multilingual practices with their migrant children, child migrants expand their linguistic repertoires through relationships and interactions with caregivers and peers in childcare centers and neighborhoods, leading to the development of heterogeneous language practices that neither their parents nor caregivers necessarily possess. The article concludes that migration may lead to complex linguistic diversity. The study contributes to Indigenous perspectives on linguistic diversity and our understanding of the structure and nature of super-diversification.
