咁大家要公道少少,人同自己背景相近嘅人共情好合理啫
當年爆武肺支那人咪一樣擺撐警共匪李文亮上神檯 :golden-agree:

最近,我喺海牙出席「想像國:流亡香港」研討會(ImagiNation: Hong Kong in exile 2024),向國際學者同其他民族領袖作供,力陳香港話點受港共壓迫。轉個L頭,香港嘅所謂「粵語學者」就喺將「抵抗匪語=文化獵巫論」散播到台灣,幫香港話運動倒米。
佢哋唔係第一年苟噏(9up),而且虛有學者之名,缺乏科學理論,只係渲染香港話運動嘅字眼妖魔化成「獵巫」。我哋首先要叩問:個人/民間對共產黨語言工程「匪語」嘅有意識抵抗,同中世紀政權借獵巫之名清洗異己嘅政治行動可以類比?如果雞蛋唔等於高牆,點解要咁輕率去散播一個偽科學嘅術語,為港共嘅語言清洗工程背書?我真係睇唔透。
我希望所有從事香港話研究嘅朋友,都必先細讀《1984》作者George Orwell嘅文章Politics and the English Language,感受Orwell如何痛心英國嘅犬儒為英文嘅敗壞背書。我哋不妨先一齊開個靚頭。
George Orwell: Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language – so the argument runs – must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.
Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes…
(港譯:多數關心嘅人都會承認英文行緊條衰路,但普遍先入為主以為,我哋唔可以有意咁做任何嘢幫到佢。我哋嘅文明敗壞,而我哋嘅語言 – 個論述係咁講 – 都會無可避免咁衰埋一份,跟住就話反抗呢啲濫言濫語都係無謂嘥氣,好似唔用電燈偏要用蠟燭,或者唔搭飛機偏要坐馬車。背後埋藏住半意識嘅信仰,以為語言識自然生長,而唔係我哋可以為咗各樣目的而塑造形狀嘅工具。
而家,擺明嘅係一隻語言嘅衰落,歸根究底一定有佢嘅政治同經濟原因……)
Orwell嘅文章值得細讀,因為佢唔止批判呢班犬儒,仲提出咗拯救語言嘅6種方法,我喺呢到唔一一細數,留返機會俾大家閱讀。我只講其中一樣:Orwell就係敬告大家唔好用一啲不知所云嘅比喻同成語,咁啱本文講嘅「文化獵巫」,就係香港話中一個完美嘅反面例子……
不過話分兩頭,「獵巫」呢個色彩濃厚嘅字詞,又都畀咗我一啲啟發。喺我嘅語文教學經歷中,我成日同啲小朋友講,你完全可以Disrespect「中國語文」呢一科,因為呢科用嘅範文、教學方式,完全係填滿政治意圖嘅垃圾,唔鍾意呢科係人之常情。But, Hey Kids,你唔可以放棄語文,因為語言文字係magic、係魔法,你可以用語言去操縱人哋,但我嘅門生,你要記住,一個唔為意,你就會俾人哋嘅語言操弄你。
呢啲唔係魔法係咩?我而家寫「粉紅色大笨象」,你腦入面有乜畫面?一句「凍冰冰」,一句「熱辣辣」,用音速去擊中聽者嘅大腦,現代啲固然可以稱為「大腦神經科學」,但我哋無可否認,語言本身係具有無意識咁影響他人嘅魔力。
正如一句甜言可以換來激烈嘅性愛,一個數字可以喚起大屠殺嘅記憶,一句口號可以引發百萬人嘅革命——以致當權者要帶住槍去搜捕我哋呢啲寫字嘅人,因為佢哋嘅語言比唔上我哋嘅語言,佢哋嘅魔法比唔上我哋嘅魔法,佢哋費盡唇舌嘅各樣口號(eg.由治及興),係幾咁拙劣可笑,佢哋必須陀槍去backup,喺學校逼迫小朋友,喺傳媒做覆讀機,先令到佢哋荒誕嘅言論稍為存留喺社會,污染大眾嘅視聽。
所以乜嘢係「獵巫」?共產黨嘅語言清洗工程,先至係人類史上最大規模嘅獵巫行動,只係披住現代科學嘅外衣。呢到我用「獵巫」一詞唔再係比喻,而係具有人類學嘅意義。你會見到佢千方百計暴力威壓,令蒙古嘅薩滿、西藏嘅僧侶、維吾爾嘅長老都失去佢哋嘅語言,失去佢哋嘅信仰,失去佢哋嘅魔法,取而代之嘅係類近《1984》威權專用嘅Newspeak、所謂嘅「普通話」,去混亂人民嘅大腦思想,從而實現佢嘅極權統治。
因此,最後我哋嘅出路就係巫師嘅自覺。事實上,世上的確有「文化獵巫」,而每一個唔係講Newspeak嘅人,喺極權者眼中都係一個個妖巫。佢哋要禁絕我哋嘅香港話,將所有同真相有關嘅詞彙,貶斥成到邪惡咒語咁。但怕咩喎,我哋正正就要將詛咒變成力量。
首先,要解除過往所謂教育,加喺我哋身上封印同詛咒,坦然接受我哋人人都係巫師/祭司嘅真相,相信我哋有權利、有能力創造出自己嘅語言同文字!然後,確立我哋嘅語文,即香港話,我哋就更加放膽靜靜地話,偷偷地講,甚至高聲疾呼,四圍歌唱!要相信我哋就係我哋嘅想像,而步槍最後都敵唔過言語中嘅真相!
