Morocco is a multilingual country where the official languages, as indicated in the constitution of 2011, are standard Arabic and Tamazight, while French is the nation's second language, pervading sectors of business, administration, diplomacy and higher education. English and Spanish are used as foreign languages in many contexts for different purposes and tasks (Ennaji, 2009). Unlike French and Spanish, whose presence in the Moroccan linguistic situation is due to colonial policy in the 20th century, English does not ‘have a colonial legacy in Morocco’ (Buckner, 2011: 213). With ‘strong demand for a lingua franca’ brought about by the media, economic incentives and globalization, the presence of English has consequently been furthered in Morocco ‘as a global language’ (Zouhir, 2013: 275).

英语在摩洛哥的传播:考察大学生的语言本体

摩洛哥是一个多语言国家,根据 2011 年宪法,官方语言是标准的阿拉伯语和塔马兹语,而法语是该国的第二语言,遍及商业、行政、外交和高等教育部门。英语和西班牙语在许多情况下被用作不同目的和任务的外语(Ennaji,2009)。与法语和西班牙语在摩洛哥语言环境中的存在是由于 20 世纪的殖民政策不同英语没有“摩洛哥的殖民遗产”(Buckner,2011:213)。随着媒体、经济激励和全球化带来的“对通用语言的强烈需求”,英语在摩洛哥“作为一种全球语言”的存在因此得到了进一步的发展(Zouhir,2013:275)。
