Abstract

‘New speakers’ refer to people who use a language regularly but are not traditional ‘native’ speakers of that language. Although this discussion has been going on for some time in other sub-disciplines of linguistics, it is more recent in research about European minoritised languages. A feature of discourse around such languages relates to their perceived suitability for diverse urban settings removed from their historical rural heartlands. Irish is an example of a minoritised language which was long associated with conservative rural communities, a reified Catholic discourse of national identity and language ideologies based on nativism. Such an approach not only marginalised urban new speakers of Irish but also exhibited hostility to LGBTQ citizens who did not befit its particular version of Irishness. In this paper, a framework of Critical Sociolinguistics is used to analyse identity positions and ideologies expressed by urban new speakers of Irish who identify as gay and/or queer.
爱尔兰同性恋“新语者”的民族认同和归属
“新说者”是指经常使用某种语言但不是该语言传统“母语”使用者的人。尽管这种讨论在语言学的其他子学科中已经进行了一段时间,但在关于欧洲少数民族语言的研究中,这种讨论是最近才出现的。围绕这些语言的话语的一个特点是,它们被认为适合远离历史农村中心地带的各种城市环境。爱尔兰语是一种长期与保守的农村社区联系在一起的少数民族语言的例子,这是一种基于本土主义的国家身份和语言意识形态的具体化天主教话语。这种做法不仅使城市中新说爱尔兰语的人边缘化,而且对不符合其特定爱尔兰风格的LGBTQ公民表现出敌意。在本文中,批判社会语言学的框架被用来分析那些认同同性恋和/或酷儿的城市新爱尔兰语使用者所表达的身份立场和意识形态。
