摘要

在大多数全球环境中,学术出版是学者职业生活的重要组成部分。对于可能使用多种语言并为不同群体发表论文的多语言学者来说,发表论文可能需要做出一系列重要选择。迄今为止,虽然已有大量研究涉及多语言学者对语言和体裁的选择,但很少有人关注他们对主题、方法论和理论的选择,而这些也是他们研究和出版实践的重要方面。在这篇综述文章中,我将具体探讨现有研究发现的多语言学者在英语语境之外对主题、方法论和理论做出特殊选择的原因。通过回顾 2004 年至 2023 年间发表的研究,我发现总体而言,学者在这些方面的选择是出于他们对职业成功的渴望,以及做出学术和社会贡献的目的。此外,各种社会政治因素也会使他们的选择变得更加复杂。我认为,目前的研究主要集中于出版业的新自由主义背景以及英语学术界对全球知识生产的影响,而英语圈以外的多语言学者的实践还可能受到许多其他因素的影响,而这些因素较少受到关注。

Options in the (Semi-)Periphery: A Review of Multilingual Scholars’ Choices of Topics, Methodologies, and Theories in Research and Publishing
In most global contexts, academic publishing plays an essential part of scholars’ professional lives. For multilingual scholars, who may use multiple languages and publish for different communities, publishing can entail making a range of important choices. To date, while there has been a substantial amount of research on multilingual scholars’ choices of language and genre, little has focused on their choices of topics, methodologies, and theories, which are also important aspects of their research and publishing practices. In this review article, I explore specifically what the extant research has found about why multilingual scholars make particular choices of topics, methodologies, and theories outside of Anglophone contexts. Reviewing research published between 2004 and 2023, I found that overall, scholars’ choices in such aspects are motivated by their desire for professional success and their aims of making academic and social contributions. Also, their choices can be further complicated by various sociopolitical factors. I argue that the current strand of research mainly focuses on the neoliberal contexts of publishing and the effects of Anglophone academia on global knowledge production, whereas the practices of multilingual scholars outside the Anglosphere can be also affected by many other factors that have received less attention.
