Abstract

Abstract Drawing on a poststructuralist perspective on identity and elite multilingualism, I traced one Uyghur female's multilingual learning experiences in this case study. Using semistructured interviews as the primary data source, I illustrate that by drawing upon multiple affordances, my Uyghur participant was able to expand her repertoire of linguistic resources and hence effect more powerful social memberships, negotiate her “elite” Uyghur identity, and achieve upward social mobility for herself. This study contributes to our understanding of ethnic minorities’ identity construction and language learning in and through intranational migration.

多语性与身份建构——以一名维吾尔族女青年为例

本文以后结构主义的身份认同和精英多语主义为视角，追踪了一位维吾尔族女性的多语学习经历。使用半结构化访谈作为主要数据来源，我说明了通过利用多种支持，我的维吾尔族参与者能够扩展她的语言资源，从而影响更强大的社会成员，协商她的“精英”维吾尔族身份，并为自己实现向上的社会流动性。本研究有助于我们理解少数民族在国际移民过程中的身份建构和语言学习。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
