摘　　要：不少学者通过对美国语言政策的研究认为,美国社会对英语以外的语言采取的是宽容态度。这一观点忽视了美国政府的自由民主管理模式。运用福柯的治理理论分析可知,美国对语言的治理是民主政治的主要组成部分,其通过语言治理以培养适合美国社会所需的共和国公民;从英语作为当前美国官方语言来看,争论双方是殊途同归,语言治理的目标依然是塑造合格的"共和国机器"。Scholars have traditionally framed the study of early U. S. language policy around levels of tolerance for languages other than English. This article argues that this framing overlooks the era baekground associated with the liberal democratic governance. The article uses the Foucauldian-inspired framework of Language governmentality to examine how early U. S. Scholars of language designed the new language as part of political rationality to produee republic citizen to fit the needs of the newly emerging U. S. democracy; Meanwhile, it demonstrates the aim of both sides of the contemporary debate on English as the official language of United States still is through language governmentality to create ＂republican machines＂.
