摘要

本文考察了徽州语族的故乡——黄山的语言维护政治。我展示了在庆祝当地遗产的幌子下,当地语言文献的努力是如何通过先发制人的颂扬来鼓励语言的消亡的,这种行为将一种语言或文化描绘得比实际情况更奄奄一息。它把语言的丧失描绘成不可避免的、已经在进行的事情,从而加速了语言的丧失。我认为,有意或无意的先发制人的赞美行为可能在世界范围内的少数民族语言努力中相当普遍,这可能有助于解释语言保护项目缺乏成功。

“Living Fossils”: The Politics of Language Preservation in Huangshan, China

This article examines the politics of language maintenance in Huangshan, China, home of the Huizhou topolects. I show how, under the guise of celebrating local heritage, local language documentation efforts encourage language demise through preemptive eulogization, the act of portraying a language or culture as being more moribund than it is. This has the effect of hastening language loss by portraying it as inevitable and already well underway. I argue that intentional or unintentional acts of preemptive eulogization may be quite prevalent in minority language efforts worldwide and may help explain the lack of success of language protection projects.
