摘　　要：多元文化伦敦英语(简称MLE)是二十世纪后期在伦敦内城工人阶层社区年轻人群体中出现的一种与少数民族相关的新方言变体,保罗·柯斯威尔在MLE项目研究中首次提出该概念。MLE起源具有多样化特征,说话人来自不同种族和文化背景,最有可能是由于语言接触和第二语言群体习得的结果。MLE研究被称为关于城市接触方言的经典案例。关于MLE新方言变体的研究对制定合理的语言规划和政策、提高少数群体的社会地位、促进社会和谐发展具有重要的现实意义。Multicultural London English( MLE) , a concept first proposed by Paul Kerswill in his project of MLE, is a new minority - related variety of dialect that emerged among the young people in the working - class community of inner city London in the late 20th century. The origin of MLE is characterized by diversity, with the speakers coming from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, most likely as a result of language contact and the group acquisition of a second language. The MLE study is well known as a classic study of urban contact dialect. The research on the new variety of MLE has important practical significance for formulating reasonable language planning and language policies, improving the social status of ethnic minorities and promoting the harmonious development of society.
