广南县未牙村壮族民族语言活力调查研究

未牙村壮族稳定使用本民族语言,族语代际传承良好,属于族语强势型村寨。未牙村壮族族语高活力保持的成因主要有:偏僻的地域环境;高度聚居的社会环境;强烈的民族认同感。由此引发以下启示:习得兼用语的少数民族依然能够保持本民族语言的高活力;社会进步在一定条件下对少数民族语言活力的保持有积极作用。

民族语言活力视角下的语言政策与国家认同研究--以印度洋岛国科摩罗为例

语言是身份构建的重要手段之一,坚实的语言认同有助于推动文化认同和民族认同的形成,进而实现广泛的国家认同。随着全球化的推进以及国际语言的广泛传播,民族语言生存环境持续恶化,对国家认同的实现构成潜在威胁。语言政策是构建国家认同的重要手段,对维护民族语言发展、巩固民族文化传承和增进民族团结具有重要作用。本文以印度洋岛国科摩罗为例,运用民族语言活力的结构性分析框架对科摩罗语的活力水平进行综合评估,并结合评价结果提出相应政策建议,旨在为新兴民族国家,尤其是遭遇国家认同困境的多语制国家制定科学合理的语言政策提供参考和借鉴。

Language Endangerment： An Overview of the Ethnolinguistic Vitality of Some Cameroonian Languages

The nation of Cameroon practices Exoglossic Bilingualism whereby, French and English are used as official languages instituted by the constitution of Cameroon. Alongside the official languages are about 284 minority languages with unequal vitality. The official languages together with a lingua franca Pidgin English and a few indigenous languages which have gained regional recognition exert great pressure on some of the indigenous minority languages, endangering them and leaving some almost at the verge of extinction if the situation is not reversed. Endeavours at assessing the language vitality situation reveal that Ngwo and Marjkur （generally known as mankon） spoken in the North West, Nweh in the South West, and Ngomba in the West regions of Cameron face such pressure and are each relatively endangered. Various strategies worthwhile to overcome language endangerment have been considered.
