摘要

摘要:博茨瓦纳宪法承认一个单一的、同质的茨瓦纳国家;因此，25个或更多的非茨瓦纳群体被边缘化。本文追溯了这种有害误解的起源，并展示了它是如何通过其他政策延续下去的。(Se)在语言和文化多样性的背景下，讨论了茨瓦纳语的主导地位及其在茨瓦纳民族国家建设中的应用，以及教育系统，特别是教育语言政策在民族国家建设中的作用。作者注意到这种主导地位的可怕后果，并对该国边缘化语言的发展进行了调查，以作为保护和生存的措施。

Setswana and the Building of a Nation State

Abstract:The Constitution of Botswana recognizes a monolithic, homogeneous Tswana state; the twenty-five or more non-Tswana groups are thus marginalized. This article traces the beginnings of this detrimental misconception and demonstrates how it has been perpetuated through other policies. (Se)Tswana language dominance and its use in the building of a Tswana nation state in the context of linguistic and cultural diversity are discussed, along with the role of the education system, and in particular, the language-in-education policy, in the building of a nation state. The dire consequences of this dominance are noted, and a survey of developments on marginalized languages in the country as a preservation and survival measure is presented.

期刊介绍： Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
