Linguistic racism explores the varied ideologies that may generate and endorse monolingual, native, and normative language practices, while reinforcing the discrimination and injustice directed towards language users whose language and communicative repertoires are not necessarily perceived as standard and normal. This article, thus, investigates linguistic racism, as a form of existing, but newly defined, racism against unconventional ethnic language practices experienced by Eastern-European immigrant women in the Australian workplace. Our ethnographic study shows that, once these women directly or subtly exhibit their non-nativism, through a limited encounter with local expressions, non-native language skills, and ethnic accents, they become victims of covert and overt linguistic racism in the form of social exclusion, mockery, mimicking, and malicious sarcasm in the hierarchical power environment of the workplace. As a result, these migrants can suffer from long-lasting psychological trauma and distress, emotional hurdles, loss of credibility, and language-based inferiority complexes. We, as researchers, need to highlight the importance of combatting workplace linguistic racism and revealing language realities of underprivileged communities. In that way, we can assist them in adapting to host societies and help them regain some degree of power equality in their institutional environments.

(C)公开的语言种族主义:在澳大利亚工作场所中的东欧背景移民妇女

语言种族主义探索了可能产生和认可单语,母语和规范性语言实践的各种意识形态,同时加强了对语言用户的歧视和不公正待遇,这些用户的语言和交际方式不一定被视为标准和正常的。因此,本文将研究语言种族主义,将其作为对现有东欧移民妇女在澳大利亚工作场所所经历的非传统种族语言习俗的一种现有但新定义的种族主义形式。我们的人种学研究表明,一旦这些妇女直接或巧妙地表现出非本土性,通过与当地表现形式,非本土语言技能和种族口音的有限接触,她们便成为社会形式隐蔽和公开语言种族主义的受害者。排斥,嘲弄,模仿,以及在工作场所的分级权力环境中的恶意嘲讽。结果,这些移民可能遭受长期的心理创伤和困扰,情绪障碍,信誉丧失以及基于语言的自卑感。作为研究人员,我们需要强调打击工作场所语言种族主义和揭示弱势社区语言现实的重要性。这样,我们可以帮助他们适应东道国社会,并帮助他们在其机构环境中重新获得一定程度的权力平等。需要强调打击工作场所语言种族主义和揭示贫困社区语言现实的重要性。这样,我们可以帮助他们适应东道国社会,并帮助他们在其机构环境中重新获得一定程度的权力平等。需要强调打击工作场所语言种族主义和揭示贫困社区语言现实的重要性。这样,我们可以帮助他们适应东道国社会,并帮助他们在其机构环境中重新获得一定程度的权力平等。
