新疆跨民族交际中的语码选择问题

On Code Selection in Cross-National Verbal Communication in Xinjiang

新疆的跨民族交际有三个特点,一是语言系属跨度大,有汉藏语系、阿尔泰语系和印欧语系中的多种语言;二是媒介语言主要集中在汉语和维吾尔语;三是在小语种之间所进行的交际,其语码选择情形复杂。语言态度、语言亲属关系、文化背景、语言强弱势和历史地理等因素是形成这样的语码选择情形的主要原因。

Cross-national verbal communication in Xinjiang is characterized by great differences between language families ranging from Sino-Tibet family to Indo-European family to Altaic family, by the major linguistic medium of Chinese and Uyghur, and by the complicated code selections between languages of minor ethnic groups. Language attitudes, the family relations between languages, cultural backgrounds, the strength of languages and histo-geographic factors are the main reasons when a code selection is made.
