摘要

2003年,玛丽·路易丝·普拉特在《职业》杂志上发表了一篇极具影响力的论文,她在文中批评了9/11事件后美国对多语言和语言学习的误解,以及随之而来的反恐措施。她认为,为了确保统一和安全,一种新的公共语言观念是必要的。本文认为,在英国脱欧之后,英国还需要发展一种新的公共语言观念,以确保未来在社会、文化和经济方面繁荣昌盛。为了做到这一点,它首先通过回顾2013年以来关注语言和多语言的学术研究、媒体文章和报告,挑战了英国关于语言学习和多语言使用的一些普遍误解。然后它表明,对英语圈的兴趣意味着英语的价值现在被人为地夸大了,而其他语言的价值被低估了。我们认为,这种向英语圈和(英语)单一语言的转变应该通过提出一种关于脱欧后英国语言的新公共理念来挑战。

‘Building a new public idea about language’?: Multilingualism and language learning in the post-Brexit UK
ABSTRACT In 2003, Mary Louise Pratt published a hugely influential paper in Profession where she took to task misconceptions about multilingualism and language learning apparent in the USA in the wake of 9/11 and consequent counter-terrorism measures. She argued that a new public idea about language was necessary in order to ensure unity and security. This article argues that in the aftermath of Brexit, the UK also needs to develop a new public idea about language to ensure a future that is prosperous, socially, culturally and economically. To do so, it first challenges a number of prevalent myths about language learning and multilingualism in the UK through a review of scholarship, media articles and reports which focus on languages and multilingualism since 2013. It then suggests that interest in the Anglosphere has meant that the value of English is now artificially inflated and that the value of other languages is underplayed. We argue that this turn to the Anglosphere and to (English) monolingualism should be challenged through proposing a new public idea about language for post-Brexit UK.

期刊介绍: The journal Current Issues in Language Planning provides major summative and thematic review studies spanning and focusing the disparate language policy and language planning literature related to: 1) polities and language planning and 2) issues in language planning. The journal publishes four issues per year, two on each subject area. The polity issues describe language policy and planning in various countries/regions/areas around the world, while the issues numbers are thematically based. The Current Issues in Language Planning does not normally accept individual studies falling outside this polity and thematic approach. Polity studies and thematic issues" papers in this journal may be self-nominated or invited contributions from acknowledged experts in the field.
