The following paper is a qualitative study of the way Kanak cultural activists in New Caledonia perceive the impact of globalisation on their linguistic communities. The data has been gathered from sixteen questionnaires and analysed thematically. The participants all connected globalisation to colonisation, and perceived both as processes disturbing the balance of their communities. This ultimately seems to result in a process of language shift that replaces traditional Melanesian ‘reciprocal’ multilingualism (Jourdan, 2007) with French monolingualism, through a brief bilingual phase.

新喀里多尼亚的全球化与语言障碍

以下论文是对新喀里多尼亚卡纳克文化活动家如何看待全球化对其语言社区的影响的定性研究。数据已从16个调查表中收集并进行了主题分析。与会者都将全球化与殖民化联系起来，并认为这两者都是扰乱其社区平衡的过程。最终，这似乎导致了语言转换的过程，通过一个简短的双语阶段，将传统的美拉尼西亚“对等”多语言主义（法语：Jourdan，2007）替换为法国的单语种。
