英语词汇linguistic cleansing的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

linguistic cleansing. An invention of Canadian author Mor- decai Richler (1931–2001) apparently based on the far more chilling euphemistic ethnic cleansing. In coining the term Mr. Richler wrote, “In 1977, shortly after the separatist Parti Quebecois, then in office, brought in the French Language Charter, we were subjected to a degree of linguistic cleansing. [The word hamburger] was adjudged an impurity imposed on Quebecois pure laine by their colonial masters in the foreign capital of Ottawa. So it was ruled that it should be immediately replaced by hambourgeois, which was what we were supposed to ask for if we suffered a Gros Mac attack.”
