	Linguistic imperialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linguistic imperialism is often seen in the context of cultural imperialism.
		Defining linguistic imperialism is bound to be problematic and one's attitude towards the term will depend largely on one's personal political orientations particularly in terms of how a person relates to the increasing political, economic and military power of the English-speaking nations of the West.
		Those who support the arguments in favour of linguistic imperialism claim that arguments against it are often advanced by monolingual native-speakers of English who may see the current status of English as a fact worthy of celebration.

		Linguistic imperialism is a term to describe the deliberate use of language as a tool for colonialist indoctrination of indigenous peoples.
		In the modern, hypercommunicative context, the term 'linguistic imperialism' is more often a characterization of an attitude, often among English speakers, that tends to dogmatism about ones' language.
		Lingustic imperialism relates somewhat to the linguistic relativity, which is the theory that unique and distinct languages create unique and distinct ways of perceiving and thinking.

	Review 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Linguistic Imperialism explores English as an international language, tries to analyze how it has become so dominant and studies the spread of English depending on the promotion of the language by English-speaking countries, the language policy makers in the Third World countries and the roles of teachers of English as a foreign or second language.
		Chapter 3 is devoted to the theoretical foundations of linguistic imperialism and the concept is studied in relation to linguicism, the latter strengthening motivation in realizing the former.
		Linguistic Imperialism is, with no doubt, an important contribution to the field of ELT and a reminder for EFL and ESL teachers of the political aspects of their profession.

	Jonathon Delacour: Linguistic imperialism?
		Linguistic relativism is the equivalent of staring down the barrel of a gun while ignore the person whose finger is on the trigger.
		The linguistic relativists might be right in all of their observations, but they are simply staring at the bullet and mistaking it for the lock, stock, barrel and sniper all rolled into one convenient lump of lead.
		Linguistic relativism is a nice idea to those who belong to a dominant, still imperialistic culture (and this applies to the English, Japanese, Koreans and Germans, all cultures that are strong and on the offensive in the war of globalisation).

		The effect of the bi-univocality of the linguistic sign and of the binarism of linguistic analysis is to repress the polyvocality of the phenomena.
		What is wrong with the imperialism of the signifier is now clear: it imposes a subjective structure on the speaker; it interpellates her at a place at the very moment when, through her appropriation of language in her speech-acts, she believes she freely expresses herself.
		Linguists working on the languages of former colonies have coined the twin concepts of linguistic imperialism and ‘glottophagy’ to account for the linguistic struggle between dominant and dominated, colonised and colonising languages.

	Linguistic protectionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linguistic protectionism is any state policy introduced to protect a given language from the expansion of a "stronger" language (usually a language with a much greater number of speakers), or against mixing (or deliberate compatibility) with a different dialect or a closely related language.
		The opposition to the latter form of language expansion is known as purism.
		Possible forms of linguistic protectionism are (from milder to harsher):

		In Translations Friel assesses the efficacy of linguistic imperialism by addressing its effects and those of concomitant cultural imperialism on the culture, identity, and even continued physical existence of the colonized.
		In the play Friel portrays linguistic and cultural imperialism as more insidious than the military imperialism they are adjuncts to and metaphors for; the Irish cooperate with them as they do not cooperate with the British military.
		Though the majority of residents of the Irish hinterland were still monolingual Irish-speakers in 1833, even there, Friel implies, British economic and military imperialism had already had a fatal effect on the Irish language and Irish culture as the Irish language embodies it; linguistic imperialism, whether nominal or educational, would merely build on their effects.

		When Robert Phillipson (1993) formally introduced the term "linguistic imperialism" in his book of that name, he was talking about the way in which ELT policy and strategy had developed in post colonial countries, heavily influenced by government funded agencies like the British Council.

		The same emphasis on ethics education, as the Imperial Rescript on Education stated, and Japanese teaching was employed as the educational goal in Korea as well as in Taiwanese education.
		It was rather committed to status planning; that is, language policy makers and linguists propagandized Japanese in a metaphoric manner as a would-be common language in Asia, replacing former colonial European languages with Japanese.
		In conclusion, the language policy that Japan exercised in Asia during the first half of this century exemplifies a case of 'linguistic imperialism- and linguicism’; in that Japan devalued, suppressed native/local languages and intended to establish a ‘Japanese Language Empire’ in Asia.

	Review Article:
		Is Linguistic Imperialism (LI) meant to be a spoof, similar to the 1901 parody of the philosophy journal MIND (published as MIND!) in which the pragmatist philosopher F.C.S. Schiller provided a mock-serious commentary on Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark'?
		What RP ignores is (a) that the choice of English (or other imperial language) has values of openness, access to and connection with modernism; and (b) the possibility that oppressed groups' common sense is active enough for them to reject English if they so wish.
		In the second place, it cannot seriously be maintained that the conference 'did not look at the overall educational needs of periphery-English children, or even their overall linguistic development', for while the discussion during the conference may have concentrated exclusively on English, the recommendations certainly do not.

		The field of literature is especially vulnerable to charges of Eurocentric cultural imperialism, with many postcolonial theorists seeing the origins of the modern literary canon extending to the golden days of the British Empire, when the teaching of literature served the British colonial venture.
		In his study of narrative among aboriginal school children, linguist Farzad Sharifian noted that Aboriginal English demonstrates and encourages non-Anglo identifications by acting as a carrier for non-linearity, or "chaos." This is a reflection of the aboriginal worldview, which differs from the Eurocentric view in its lack of linear temporality.
		Among the many Singaporean linguists and educators in attendance at the conference there was an overwhelming sense of support for the use of Singapore English as a marker of national identity and unity.

		In the process of doing so, I also discovered that linguistic imperialism is not confined to the profiteering side of selling the English language; rather, I came to realize that by selling their language these guys are also selling us their capitalist - imperialist - racist - sexist ideology.
		What these loaded words often do to the people is that they pull the wool over their eyes and hide the nefarious aspects of the militarist nations under the guise of pleasant words that conjur up pleasant connotations.
		I believe that in order to fight linguistic imperialism, we need to devise a language of defiance and struggle and create an anti-language to resist the capitalist-Imperialist-racist-sexist-terrorist faith and berate the falsity and vacuity of their linguistic culture.

		It also becomes clear that this shambles is the result of an unholy alliance between shabby EFL "professionals" and undeserving elites in certain countries where English is taught as a non-native language.
		It follows that effective reform of paranoid language policy in the relevant countries can deal with the problem of linguistic imperialism as defined. The author has no need for preposterous "linguistic theories" of the kind that crop up in Pennycook's work, for example.
		We can guess that they have little to gain, and a lot to lose, by doing so, but this is left to the imagination.
