社会语言学视野中的社会认同理论

Social Identity Theory from the Perspective of Sociolinguistics

社会认同理论原本是社会心理学家们用以解释人类的群际行为,其产生不久便被引入社会语言学。该理论不仅很好地解释了语言的变异与变化,以及人类的语言行为,反过来也较好地推动了社会认同理论本身的发展,从而弥补了语言学与社会心理学之间的空白。

Social identity theory was originally used by social psychologists to interpret the intergroup behavior,but shortly afterwards,it was used by sociolinguists. This theory did not interpret linguistic variation and change along with human language behavior very commendably but conversely promoted the development of the theory self,because of which it filled the gap between linguistics and social psychology.
