探讨生成式AI如何影响学术写作中的语言多样性，呼吁包容性设计与公平政策。
Generative AI and linguistic diversity in academic writing and publishing: Perspectives from World Englishes
- 通过五位社会语言学家对话，分析GenAI对多元英语使用的影响。
- 指出GenAI可能强化语言霸权，也可能成为挑战不公的抵抗空间。
- 强调研究者自主性与机构责任，倡导批判性AI素养和共同设计。
生成式人工智能（GenAI）在学术写作与出版（AWP）中的兴起，引发了关于语言包容性及全球学术交流中多样化英语合法性的讨论。本文通过五位来自世界英语及其相关领域的社会语言学家的结构化学术对话回应这些问题。围绕五个核心问题展开，对话探讨了GenAI工具如何影响写作实践、强化或打破主导语言规范，并带来伦理挑战。参与者反思了GenAI在民主化写作过程方面的潜力，同时担忧其倾向边缘化少数语言变体并削弱学术写作的细微差别。对话中浮现语言（不）公正、研究者能动性与机构责任等主题，多位贡献者呼吁制定以公平为导向的政策、培养批判性AI素养，并推动在GenAI开发中进行包容性共同设计。文章表明，对话式反思有助于理解GenAI在学术写作中的角色。结论认为，尽管GenAI可能巩固既有等级制度，但其亦可成为抵抗的场所，具体取决于其设计、治理与学术共同体中对语言多样性的承诺程度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in academic writing and publishing (AWP) raises questions about linguistic inclusivity and the legitimacy of diverse Englishes in global scholarly communication. This article responds to these questions through a structured scholarly dialogue involving five sociolinguists from World Englishes and adjacent fields. Organised around five guiding questions, the dialogue interrogates how GenAI tools influence writing practices, reinforce or disrupt dominant language norms, and raise ethical challenges. Contributors reflect on the potential of GenAI to democratise writing processes while also raising concerns about GenAI's tendency to marginalise minoritised varieties and flatten nuance in scholarly writing. Across the dialogue, themes of linguistic (in)justice, researcher agency, and institutional responsibility emerge, with contributors calling for equity-informed policies, critical AI literacy, and inclusive co-design in GenAI development. The article shows the value of dialogic reflection in understanding GenAI's role in AWP. It concludes that while GenAI may reinforce existing hierarchies, it can also serve as a site of resistance, depending on how it is designed, governed and used within scholarly communities committed to linguistic diversity.
