摘要

Efrén Pérez和Margit Tavits的《Voicing Politics:How Language Shapes Public Opinion》报告的实证研究表明,语言是国家建设的重要基础。他们的研究很好地利用了相当大比例的爱沙尼亚人,他们精通爱沙尼亚语和俄语,这是爱沙尼亚的主要语言;这两种语言在如何描述性别、如何描述未来以及如何描述种族方面有所不同。Pérez和Tavits利用实验和调查模式进行调查。在这两种模式和许多观点中,他们发现,由于双语使用者被随机分配使用的语言,重复的、因此可靠的、适度的“轻推”。我将重点扩展到考虑语言是人类产生非常不同的社会形式的重要手段之一。一些社会——或者更好的是,政体——更加僵化,依赖过去的做法来生存;有些更具流动性,并对新的可能性持开放态度。事实证明,每一个都很脆弱。我认为,社交能力的多样性通过让一些人更好地应对当下的挑战来提高物种生存的可能性——这是一种比固定的单一解决方案更好的策略。

How Do Humans Create and Sustain Viable Communities? A Review Essay
In a very lucid account, Efrén Pérez and Margit Tavits’s Voicing Politics: How Language Shapes Public Opinion reports empirical studies demonstrating that language is an important foundation in nation-building. Their research makes excellent use the considerable percentage of Estonians who are proficient in Estonian and Russian, prominent languages spoken in Estonia; the two languages differ in how they characterize gender, how they characterize the future, and how they characterize ethnicity. Pérez and Tavits make use of experiments and survey modes of investigation. And across both modes and across many opinions, they find repeated, hence reliable, and modest “nudges” due to the language bilingual speakers are randomly assigned to use. I expand the focus to consider how language is but one of the important means by which the human species is able to generate very different social forms. Some societies—or better, polities—are more rigid, reliant on past practices to survive; some are more fluid and open to new possibilities. Each has proven vulnerable. I argue that the diversity of sociability enhances the likelihood of the survival of the species by having some better able to address the challenges of the moment—a better strategy than a fixed single solution.
