移民与语言演变:英国约克华人社区两代移民普通话新变体

语言接触引发语言演变是变异社会语言学关注的核心内容。人口迁移使不同国家的人接触日趋频繁,当使用两种或以上语言的人相互交流和影响时,可能产生各种语言结果。本研究重点考察我国两代海外移民对普通话使用的维护与演变。第一代成年移民主要存在从方言向普通话转换及词汇借用现象,第二代年龄较大儿童则转向以英语为主的中英双语者。汉语维护总体乐观,但海外华人使用的普通话正发生一些词汇、语音或句法演变,一种普通话新变体正在海外华人社区中形成,年龄较大儿童是普通话使用创新的主力军。普通话新变体反映了中文在海外的传承、演变和发展情况。

新兴网络问候构式的体认社会语言学阐释

2020年年底,一类以“早安,打工人!”为原型构例的新兴网络问候构式在青年群体的微博或微信朋友圈中出现,其虽有寒暄问候语之形,表达的却是自我调侃之义,具有构式特征。构式语法此前较多关注语法构式,对特定人群使用的构式变体和构式存储的社会信息关注不多。本文基于体认社会语言学的相关论述,首先从社会生态角度(即行动的自我、朋友圈受众和社会事件)出发,细化了体认原则,并基于此首次详细归纳了新兴网络问候的构式信息,揭示了其流行和能产的体认动因。研究发现,该构式具有建构言者临时社会身份的功能,其原型构式义的产生可归结为“主体-自我”分离式类属隐喻、场景转喻、虚实对比和听众角色识解等4种体认方式。本文认为,体认社会语言学的初衷和语言变异研究的第三次浪潮在学理和目标上具有一致性。
