语言认同的本质及其发展进路

The essence of language identity and its evolution

社会语言学的认同研究经过了从结构观到建构观的范式转变。在这一过程中,作为跨学科范畴的"认同",出现了不同的理解,延伸形成了与之有关的概念群——语言认同、语言身份认同、语言身份建构、语言身份识别、语言身份选择等系列术语。受建构主义影响,社会语言学中的"认同"概念实指语言身份认同。语言身份认同与语言态度、语言偏好等关系密切,但分别隶属于不同的研究范畴。辨析语言身份认同的概念范畴,可确保语言身份认同研究的独立存在价值,对社会语言学语言认同研究的接续发展具有一定的意义。

Studies of sociolinguistic identity have witnessed a paradigm shift from structuralism to constructivism.In the process of paradigm shifting,identity is an interdisciplinary concept with multiple interpretations and can derive many terminol-ogies such as language identity,language attitudes,language identity construction and choices of language identity.Affected by constructivism,the concept of language identity in sociolinguistic studies refers to the meaning of people’s social roles.At the same time,the term language identity is highly connected to concepts of language attitude and language preference but has been divided into different research disciplines.By distinguishing the range of the concept language identity,the studies of language identity can gain the independence of research values and have significance for the continual construction of sociolin-guistic identity studies.
