[Tyra Talk] 2024-11-23 語言維護: 語言名稱正名與去殖民化-以台語為例

台灣是多語言、多文化的社會,而語言常是促進社會和諧或加深衝突與邊緣化的關鍵。在這次演講中,楊佳穎博士將聚焦台語(Daighi),探討它面臨消失的威脅,以及其與台灣歷史和社會變遷的密切關係。楊博士並將探討台語因眾多名稱所導致的急遽邊緣化,並提出使用以標準名稱的方式提高人們對語言的關注,促進語言公平,從而打造一個更加包容和平等的台灣社會。

|| 摘要(Abstract):

In the multilingual and multicultural societies that we now live in, conflicts and marginalisation are often observed instead of harmony. Through the lens of language, languages and their users may experience suppression and marginalisation in contexts of conflict. However, language can also play a critical role in harmony building. This study explores language marginalisation, focusing on a threatened local language – Daighi, in the context of Taiwan. Taiwan is a multilingual society, and Daighi, along with other local languages, is going through intergenerational language shift (Census 2020; Tiun, 2020), which can be traced back to its sociocultural history (Yang 2020). Coming from a language maintenance perspective, this study sets out to address the issue of multiple names used to refer to Daighi in the literature and proposes an approach to make Daighi more visible while advocating for linguistic equality and harmony building. To explore the names used in the literature to refer to Daighi and the rationale behind its naming, this study draws on a systematic literature review as its main research method, and discourse analysis as the main analytical framework. The study then proposes and justifies how using Daighi as the name to refer to the language is a way to decolonise and demarginalize local languages like Daighi and promote language equality in a multilingual society like Taiwan.
