- 通过问卷调查三代人语言使用情况，分析不同场景下的语码选择。
- 年轻成员藏语使用极少，三组间差异显著（p<0.001）。
- 适合关注语言传承与移民社区文化维持的研究者阅读。
本研究首次报告了约70年前从西藏迁往沙特阿拉伯的藏族家庭后代中，藏语向阿拉伯语转变的情况。研究旨在确定三个年龄组在维持藏语或转向汉志阿拉伯语方面的差异。通过对96名男女成员进行问卷调查，询问他们在家庭、邻里、亲友、情感表达及宗教仪式等场景中的语言选择。数据显示，各代际之间在转向阿拉伯语的程度上存在显著差异，年轻成员几乎不使用藏语，而年长者仅略多使用。三组间的差异具有统计学意义，p值为0.001。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The present study provides the first-ever report on the language shift from Tibetan to Arabic among descendants of Tibetan families who migrated from the Tibet region to Saudi Arabia around 70 years ago. The aim of this study was to determine whether three age groups had adopted different practices in terms of maintaining Tibetan or shifting to Hijazi Arabic. To this end, 96 male and female members of the Tibetan community responded to a questionnaire in which they were asked about their code choice in different domains (home, neighbourhood, friends and relatives, expressing emotion, and performing religious rituals). The data revealed significant intergenerational differences between members of the community in terms of the extent of the shift to Arabic, with Tibetan rarely used by younger members and older members making only slightly more use of it. The difference between the three age groups was significant, at a p-value of .001.
