AbstractThe current language policy and planning of many countries still adhere to the nation-state ideology of “one nation equals one official language”. This issue is likely to cause the linguistic minority groups to devalue or even abandon their own mother tongue and identify with the official language of the country. A case in point is Iran where Persian is the only official language and other languages are merely tolerated, but not promoted. The principal aim of this study is to find factors that lead Kalhuri Kurdish people to choose to speak with their children in Persian at the risk of losing their native language, a phenomenon which may happen as a result of linguistic/language suicide or because of linguicide. Therefore, a researcher-designed and validated questionnaire was administered to 384 Kalhuri Kurdish parents. The results indicated that the language policy and planning in Iran has made Kalhuri parents use Persian in interactions with their children instead of using their own vernacular, Kalhuri. The sociolinguistic implications of the study are discussed in the light of the research findings.

伊朗多语言背景下 Kalhuri 库尔德语使用者的语言优势和转变

摘要 当前许多国家的语言政策和规划仍然坚持“一个民族就是一种官方语言”的民族国家意识形态。这个问题很可能导致语言少数群体贬低甚至放弃自己的母语，而认同国家的官方语言。一个典型的例子是伊朗，波斯语是唯一的官方语言，其他语言只是被容忍，而不是被推广。本研究的主要目的是找出导致 Kalhuri 库尔德人选择与他们的孩子用波斯语交谈而冒失去母语的风险的因素，这种现象可能由于语言/语言自杀或语言杀戮而发生. 因此，对 384 名 Kalhuri 库尔德父母进行了研究人员设计和验证的问卷调查。结果表明，伊朗的语言政策和规划使 Kalhuri 父母在与孩子互动时使用波斯语，而不是使用自己的白话 Kalhuri。根据研究结果讨论了该研究的社会语言学意义。
