官方双语主义是喀麦隆语言政策的核心,也是殖民主义统治的遗产之一。就其性质而言,与其说是一种社会和语言选择,不如说是一种政治选择。同时,它是一种个人双语,而非国家双语。由于缺乏系统规划,加之不适应社会需要,喀麦隆官方双语主义没有成为促进国家政治一体化与社会融合的工具,反而构成导致社会不满与疏离的重要因素之一。 Official bilingualism is at the core of Cameroon’s language policy and one of the legacy of colonial domination. By its very nature, it is not so much a social and linguistic choice as a political choice. At the same time, it is a personal bilingual rather than a national bilingual. Due to the lack of systematic planning and its incompatibility with social needs, Cameroon’s official bilingualism has not become a tool for promoting political integration and social integration in the country. Instead, it constitutes one of the important factors that cause social dissatisfaction and alienation.
