《大众文化、话语及语言多样性——线上线下的年轻人》述评

Review of Popular Culture,Voice and Linguistic Diversity: Young Adults On-and Offline

目前,针对欧美国家言语社区的研究已经相当成熟,但还鲜有较系统地关于亚洲边缘国家的语言生活,尤其是梳理年轻人语言情况的著作。2018年,由S. Wright和H. KellyHolmes担任主编,Springer出版公司出版的《大众文化、话语及语言多样性》以蒙古国和孟加拉国为背景,基于"超语框架"对年轻人的语言使用进行了深入观察,其经验可以丰富全球化的社会语言学研究,并更好地描述、解释和预测网络时代的言语模式与行为发展。

At present,the research on the speech communities in European and American countries is quite mature,but there are few systematic works on the language life in Asian countries,especially the language situation of young people. Popular Culture, Voice and Linguistic Diversity: Young Adults On-and Offline,edited by S. Wright and H. Kelly-Holmes,was published by Springer in 2018. Taking Mongolia and Bangladesh as the background,this book makes an in-depth observation of young adults ’ language practices based on the"transglossic framework". Its experience can not only enrich global sociolinguistic research but also describe,explain and predict the development of speech patterns and behaviors through the Internet age in a better way.
