語言在斯里蘭卡內戰與族群衝突中的定位

The Orientation of Language of Civil War and Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka

摘要


語言是人與人之間的溝通工具,也用以理解外在世界的認知與象徵系統,語言所承載的豐富文化意義經常成為族群識別的對象,並與族群意識緊密結合,使得語言使用的意涵越加難以定位。在多元語言使用環境中,語言政策的擬定與執行,更容易反映出政治與權力的運作歷程。因此,語言的不平等除了呈現政治資源的不平等之外,也容易引發族群不平等的爭議。 斯里蘭卡自從獨立之後,國內的族群衝突不斷,甚至提升到內戰的規模,造成龐大的經濟損失與人民傷亡。儘管在2009年宣布內戰結束,但是,族群衝突並未隨著內戰結束而終結。相對的,在國家進行重建的過程中,族群議題不斷浮現,成為斯里蘭卡最棘手的問題。 本文從語言社會學的角度,研究語言議題與族群衝突的關係,並以斯里蘭卡的語言議題與語言政策為分析實例,討論辛哈拉人與泰米爾人之間持續多年的內戰族群衝突中,族群如何透過語言政策來達成特定的目的,以及語言政策背後所蘊含的政治與階級因素。
