Abstract

Abstract Translingual identity, as a part of the trans-paradigm, refers to linguistic, sociocultural, ethno-racial, and religious practices, which are negotiable, fluid, and in motion, transcending mainstream boundaries. This paper expands the translingual literature from the perspective of sociolinguistic disparities of culturally and linguistically diverse Eastern-European immigrant women in Australia, as they become victims of the perpetual foreigner stereotype in their host communities. Using the linguistic ethnography methods, such as open ethnographic observation and semi-structured interview, the study reveals that due to biographical accent, name, and the country of origin, as aspects of translingual identity – Australian-by-passport, those women become the victim of the perpetual foreigner stereotypes, such as ‘perceived as different’ and ‘Russian bride,’ which led to their feelings of inferiority and social inequality. By expanding the scope of the translingual identity and how it is perceived in Australia, this study provides a necessary contribution to the translingual literature, while simultaneously advocating for the quality of life and justice for translingual immigrants in their new home.

翻译身份

摘要作为跨性别范式的一部分，翻译身份是指语言、社会文化、种族和宗教实践，这些实践是可协商的、流动的、动态的，超越了主流界限。本文从澳大利亚文化和语言多样的东欧移民女性的社会语言学差异的角度扩展了跨语言文学，因为她们在所在社区成为了永久的外国人刻板印象的受害者。使用语言民族志方法，如开放的民族志观察和半结构化访谈，研究表明，由于传记口音、姓名和原籍国，作为跨语言身份的一个方面——护照上的澳大利亚人，这些女性成为永久的外国人刻板印象的受害者，如“被视为与众不同”和“俄罗斯新娘”，这导致了他们的自卑感和社会不平等感。通过扩大跨语言身份的范围及其在澳大利亚的感知方式，本研究为跨语言文学做出了必要的贡献，同时倡导跨语言移民在新家中的生活质量和正义。
