摘要

Naijá（也被称为尼日利亚洋泾浜）是一种在尼日利亚有数百万使用者的扩展洋泾浜，它也是克里奥尔语，因为一些社区将其作为第一语言使用（Faraclas 2013；Mazzoli 2017）。它是西非前英国殖民地的通用语，具有跨国使用的潜力。尽管Naijá在多个层面上都很重要，但尼日利亚的语言相关政策中没有提到它，而且它在教育中的使用受到限制和污名化。这是由于激进的意识形态将奈贾视为一种低劣的语言，尤其是在尼日利亚的英语方面。在本文中，基于在尼日利亚南部收集的实地调查数据，我概述了与Naijá有关的积极和消极意识形态，并认为在以Naijí为母语的人中出现了创新意识形态，这为制定语言内政策和将Naijà引入课堂奠定了基础。

The ideological debate on Naijá and its use in education

Naijá (also known as Nigerian Pidgin) is an extended pidgin with millions of speakers in Nigeria, and it is also a creole since some communities use it as a first language (Faraclas 2013; Mazzoli 2017). It is a common lingua franca in former English colonies in West Africa and has potential for transnational use. Notwithstanding its importance at multiple levels, Naijá is not mentioned in language-related policies in Nigeria, and its use in education is limited and stigmatized. This is due to aggressive ideologies that identify Naijá as an inferior language, especially with respect to English in Nigeria. In this paper, based on fieldwork data collected in southern Nigeria, I outline positive and negative ideologies related to Naijá, and argue that innovative ideologies have emerged among Naijá native speakers, which constitute a base for elaborating endoglossic policies and introducing Naijá into the classroom.

期刊介绍： English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
