语言冲突视角下喀麦隆官方双语政策实施现状研究

Abstract:Cameroon is one of the major political and economic power in Central Africa，and its official bilingualism has attracted a great deal of scholarly attention，generating a wealth of research on its policy implementation and social impact. Throughout Cameroon’s development course after its independence，it can be found that the implementation of its official bilingualism has reached a bottleneck with little effect. Instead of achieving the original goal of preserving national unity and solidarity，it has become a trigger for regional conflicts within the country. In view of this，a review of the current situation of its implementation is conducted from the perspective of language conflict，thus revealing the double connotation of its current dilemma：the lack of language status planning in the bilingual policy and the divergence between English and French language groups in their construction of national identity. In addition，by taking Cameroon’s current national realities and future development direction into consideration，the paper proposes strategies to cope with the current dilemma.
