This article explores language learning as a process of translanguaging and of cultural translation. We draw examples from a sociolinguistic ethnography of translanguaging practices in a karate club in east London, UK. Formulaic Japanese is taught as part of karate techniques, practised as the language of performance and rituals and valued as the key indicator of karate expertise over other languages. Key karate verbal routines such as osu and kiai, while linguistically difficult to translate, bespeak core karate values such as respect and confidence, and equally important, the embodiment of these verbal routines is well integrated into karate moves, breaking down the dichotomy of verbal and physical dimensions of the interaction. The predominant use of formulaic Japanese in rituals, along with other semiotic resources, creates an imagined karate world characterized by hierarchy and guarded through the value of respect. In examining whose karate and how cultural traditions, values and practices are translated and why, we broaden the concept of language and regard it as a multifaceted sense- and meaning-making resource and explore the theoretical implications of taking language teaching and learning as a process of cultural translation.

谁的空手道?伦敦多语种空手道俱乐部的语言和文化学习

本文将语言学习作为跨语言和文化翻译的过程进行探讨。我们从英国东伦敦一家空手道俱乐部的跨语言实践的社会语言学民族志中举出例子。公式化日语作为空手道技术的一部分被教授,作为表演和仪式的语言进行练习,并被视为空手道专业知识优于其他语言的关键指标。osu 和 kiai 等关键空手道口头套路虽然在语言上难以翻译,但表明了尊重和自信等核心空手道价值观,同样重要的是,这些口头套路的体现很好地融入了空手道动作,打破了口头和相互作用的物理维度。在仪式中主要使用公式化的日语以及其他符号资源,创造了一个想象的空手道世界,以等级为特征,通过尊重的价值来守护。在检查谁的空手道以及文化传统、价值观和实践如何被翻译以及为什么被翻译时,我们拓宽了语言的概念,并将其视为一种多方面的意义和意义创造资源,并探索了将语言教学作为一个过程的理论含义文化翻译。
