摘要

摘要：自19世纪以来，班图语Elhomwe在马拉维一直处于濒危状态。利用定性和定量数据评估了它的地位以及由精英支持的文化组织推动的振兴工作的成功。尽管洛姆韦人对洛姆韦政治和种族复兴表示热情，并对该语言持积极态度，但复兴的成功程度很低，该语言仍然脆弱；社会经济、历史和政治地位的提高并没有转化为语言的复兴和相关的声望。探讨了尽管精英和政治斡旋，但这种缺乏成功的原因。

Elhomwe Revitalization Efforts: Myth or Reality?

Abstract:Elhomwe, a Bantu language, has been endangered in Malawi since the nineteenth century. Its status and the success of revitalization efforts fostered by an elite-backed cultural organization are assessed using both qualitative and quantitative data. Although the Lomwe express enthusiasm over Lomwe political and ethnic resurgence and positive attitudes towards the language, revitalization has been minimally successful and the language remains fragile; improved socioeconomic, historical, and political status has not translated into resurgence and associated prestige of the language. The reasons for this lack of success despite elite and political brokerage are explored.

期刊介绍： Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
