Abstract This paper investigates whether analytic philosophers who are non-native English speakers are subject to linguistic injustice and, if yes, what kind of injustice that is and whether it is different from the general disadvantage that non-native English speakers meet in a world where English is rapidly becoming the lingua franca. The paper begins with a critical review of the debate on linguistic justice, with a particular focus on the emergence of a lingua franca and the related questions of justice, both in terms of the disadvantages suffered by those groups who bear the cost of learning another language and in terms of forms of discrimination due to accents and language improprieties. We argue that being at a relative disadvantage compared to others does not necessarily translate in a proper injustice if fundamental civil, political and social provisions are in place. We suggest that a circumstance of injustice arises when such disadvantage affects those who are not yet members of such academic community such as prospective students, thus contributing in keeping the non-native group a minority. We qualify this case of disadvantage as a matter of structural injustice.

语言正义与分析哲学

摘要本文研究了非英语母语者的分析哲学家是否遭受语言不公正待遇，如果是，那是什么类型的不公正待遇，以及与非英语母语者在世界上遇到的普遍劣势有何不同？英语正在迅速成为通用语言。本文首先对有关语言正义的辩论进行了批判性审查，并特别着眼于通用语言的产生和有关正义的问题，这在那些承担学习另一种语言代价的群体所遭受的劣势方面以及由于口音和语言不当造成的歧视形式。我们认为，相对于其他国家而言，处于相对劣势并不一定转化为适当的不公正，如果基本的民事，政治和社会规定到位。我们建议，当这种不利影响影响那些尚未成为该学术团体成员的人（例如准学生）时，就会出现不公正的情况，从而使非本地人成为少数。我们认为这种不利情况是结构性不公正问题。
