比较视域下的泰国语言景观研究

A Study of the Thai Linguistic Landscape from a Comparative Perspective

与西方语言景观研究相比,泰国语言景观研究的主题往往侧重多语言的使用、旅游景区的语言景观和英语使用的情况,呈现出重视泰国农村语言景观、华人区语言景观和本土居民区语言景观的特征;理论体系倾向于人类交际文化学视野、语言经济学视野、对比研究视野、二语习得视野和语言教学视野,呈现出重视泰国文化传承形成的语言变异和华语习得造成的语言变异的特征。相比之下,泰国语言景观研究主要存在研究主题单薄、调查区域狭窄、研究材料单一、理论视野局促、研究创新不足、调查分析薄弱等不足之处,今后应该努力加大这些方面研究的力度。

The study of the Thai linguistic landscape,compared to Western linguistic landscape studies,tends to focus on multilingualism,the linguistic landscape of tourist areas and the use of English,and presents characteristics that emphasize the linguistic landscape of rural Thailand,the linguistic landscape of the Chinese regions and the linguistic landscape of native settlements.The theoretical system of Thai linguistic landscape’s study tends to focus on the cultural perspective of human communication,the linguistic economics perspective,the comparative research perspective,the second language acquisition perspective,and the language teaching perspective,showing a focus on the language variation formed by Thai cultural transmission and the language variation caused by Chinese language acquisition.In contrast,the research on Thai language landscapes is characterized by relatively few research themes,narrow investigation areas,single research materials and theoretical perspectives,insufficient research innovations,and weak research analyses,and efforts should be made to increase research efforts in these areas in the future.
