泰国北部“云南人”语言态度调查研究

A Survey on the Language Attitudes of“Yunnan People”in Northern Thailand

泰国北部的“云南人”在长期融入泰国社会过程中形成了多语语言生活。通过调查清莱府皇太后县辉鹏华人村不同语言态度、语言实践,考察泰北云南人对母语云南方言的代际差异。调查结果表明:泰北云南人的云南汉语方言语言态度制约语言使用,云南方言使用及能力保持良好,但云南方言能力在普通话、泰语竞争下呈代际衰减趋势。

“Yunnan people”in Northern Thailand have developed a multilingual lifestyle in the course of their long-term integration into Thai society.Through a survey of different language attitudes and practices found in the Chinese village of Huai Phueng,Mae Fa Luang District,Chiang Rai Prov-ince,this study examined the intergenerational differences in the use of the Yunnan dialect of their mother tongue by Yunnan people in Northern Thailand.The results have revealed that the use of Yun-nan dialect among Yunnan people in Northern Thailand is constricted by their language attitudes.Al-though Yunnan dialect is relatively well preserved among these immigrants,its competitiveness is dwin-dling intergenerationally in comparison to Mandarin and Thai.
