Abstract

It is urgent that we learn how to motivate learners of threatened heritage languages. Motivational theories, however, are weakened when they consider heritage languages in isolation from the rest of the culture in which they are enmeshed. By drawing on psycholinguist Zoltán Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System to analyze interviews with ten traditional musicians from Nova Scotia with varying degrees of Gaelic fluency, we find that musical knowledge inspires and enriches their language learning and vice versa. It is the interviewees’ holistic understanding of Gaelic culture, as well as the culture's links to community and heritage, that motivates them.

鼓励传统音乐家学习盖尔语新斯科舍省的传统语言

我们迫切需要学习如何激励受威胁遗产语言的学习者。然而，当动机理论将传统语言与它们所处的其他文化孤立起来考虑时，它们就被削弱了。通过利用心理语言学家Zoltán Dörnyei的L2动机自我系统对十位来自新斯科舍省的盖尔语流利程度不同的传统音乐家的访谈进行分析，我们发现音乐知识激发并丰富了他们的语言学习，反之亦然。受访者对盖尔文化的整体理解，以及盖尔文化与社区和遗产的联系，激励了他们。
