Recent work in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language education has called for the “return” of class in the critical examination of the role of language in society and education under the organizing logic of capitalist globalization. Nevertheless, while the restoration of class as a core aspect of sociolinguistic analysis is much welcome, it has also come with its own ideological erasures: the disappearance of colonialism and coloniality. Thus, this paper aims to, first, tackle the general erasure of class in intellectual movements in the humanities and social sciences for the past few decades, then second, demonstrate how such erasure in fact involves the decoupling of class and colonialism through the example of the politics of Englishes in the Philippines, before introducing the concept of colonially induced Unequal Englishes (Tupas, 2015; Tupas & Salonga, 2016) as a way to address directly such politics.

殖民主义，社会阶级和英语不平等的纠缠

在应用语言学，社会语言学和语言教育方面的最新工作要求在资本主义全球化的组织逻辑下，在对语言在社会和教育中的作用进行批判性考察时，要求阶级“回归”。然而，尽管恢复阶级作为社会语言分析的核心方面是非常受欢迎的，但它也伴随着它自己的意识形态消除：殖民主义和殖民主义的消失。因此，本文旨在首先解决过去几十年中人文和社会科学知识运动中阶级的普遍消失，然后其次通过以下例子展示这种消失实际上如何涉及阶级与殖民主义的脱节。菲律宾的英语政治，然后介绍殖民主义诱导的概念不平等的英语（Tupas，2015; Tupas＆Salonga，2016）是直接解决此类政治问题的一种方式。
