2. 主报告提要
In this presentation, I will explore debates within both language policy and political theory that privilege national languages, as well as the rise of English as a world language, and related discourses of globalization, cosmopolitan identities and social mobility via access to English. These debates tend to emphasize the benefits of social inclusion (via a shared language) and individual mobility (via the dominant national language) and invariably end up presenting often-sceptical discussions about bi/multilingual public policy. Along the way, concern is regularly expressed about whether the promotion of bi/multilingual policies, including the recognition of Indigenous and other local languages, might delimit the individual rights, (language) choice, and social and economic mobility of individuals, while, more broadly, undermining social and political cohesion.
Having critically examined these arguments, I will conclude by offering an alternative position in favour of public multilingualism – albeit established and regulated within clear parameters. I will argue that such a position provides not only greater opportunities for linguistic justice at the level of the nation-state but also facilitates both inclusion and mobility, particularly for Indigenous and other non-dominant language speakers, in an increasingly globalized world dominated by English.
