New directions created by Putonghua and English’s 'double domination' of Zhuang language in China
Grey, Alexandra. - : London : Scitsiugnil Press, 2016
Abstract: This paper examines new directions in the mobilization of linguistic resources for identity and inclusion in circumstances where Standard Mandarin (Putonghua) and English dominate a Chinese minority language. While existing literature examines tensions between Putonghua and English, it rarely considers China’s official minority languages: another tension exists between a “peripheral language” and the combined practices of “supercentral” Putonghua and “hypercentral” English (de Swaan’s categories (2001)). Drawing on a 2014-2015 ethnographic study of Zhuang, the Kam-Tai language of the largest official minority group in China, this paper argues that Putonghua and English dominate in a relatively stable coalition, and that, contrary to some other minority language cases in China, the imbalance of power vis-à-vis Zhuang results in its destabilisation even as a resource of home-making and ethnic identity, the traditional power bases of minority language. I identify complementarities in the relationship between Putonghua and English enabled by capital in different fields and value constructed on national and international “scales” (Blommaert, 2007). I explain two language ideologies that stabilise this double domination. Putonghua and English, but not Zhuang, are constructed as features of a sought-after “habitus of mobility” (Grey, 2015), a habitus of the kind Blommaert (2007, p. 11) predicts will “prevail over others because [it] connect[s] to higher and more powerful scale-levels”. Consequently, not only are people shifting away from learning or using Zhuang but, through discourse, reconstructing Zhuang identity as authentic even without Zhuang language practices. ; 16 page(s)
