澳门青年语言态度调查

A Survey of Macao Youth’s Language Attitudes

本研究采用“配对变语”的方法,考察澳门回归20年之际青年人对普通话、汉语粤方言、葡萄牙语、英语、带粤方言口音普通话(粤普)的语言态度。本研究的结果旨在与广州、北京和香港的语言态度以及澳门已有的语言态度研究结果相比较。研究发现跨地区的差别主要是澳门青年对汉语粤方言和普通话的评价大幅高于其余三地,而对粤普的评价低于其余三地,体现了澳门的独特性。从历时来看,澳门青年一方面保持对汉语粤方言的高度评价,一方面对普通话和葡语的评价也在提高。本研究展现了“本土-国家-国际”3种力量共同影响下,澳门青年的多元认同发展,同时也揭示了澳门青年的语言态度受本土和国家力量的影响最大,国际影响次之的现状。
