摘要

非新加坡人对新加坡口语的消极态度经常被用来支持新加坡的“讲好英语运动”。本文考察了在新加坡的台湾移民聚集在一个在线Facebook群组中关于SCE的自发元语言话语。基于元语言话语是通过对话者之间的社会关系来中介的观点，本研究揭示了在所调查的网络空间中出现的语言意识形态是如何通过共享国籍的人之间的立场形成的。我们认为，这种空间语境引发并升级了SCE的负面意识形态，这些意识形态既存在于英语变体的流行等级中，也存在于普通话的等级中。

Conflicts between World Englishes

Negative attitudes of non-Singaporeans towards Singapore Colloquial English (SCE) are often used to support the “Speak Good English Movement” in Singapore. This article examines spontaneous metalinguistic discourse about SCE in an online Facebook group where Taiwanese migrants in Singapore gather for mutual support. Based on the idea that metalinguistic discourse is mediated through the social relation between interlocutors, this study reveals how the language ideologies surfacing in the investigated online space are formed through stance-taking processes between people sharing a nationality. We argue that this spatial context elicits and escalates negative ideologies of SCE, which are situated in popular hierarchies of varieties of English, and also hierarchies of Mandarin.

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.
