全球化背景下构建语言和谐环境的长远意义

Long-term Meaning of Constructing Language Harmony in an Era of Economic Globalization

面对全球化背景下英语对世界各国语言文化的冲击,我国应采取"由点到面"——从国际化大都市扩散的策略,采取"两手抓"的语言规划方针,即一方面开发研究英语学习自主策略,缩短英语教育时间;另一方面,增强语言内外和谐,平衡普通话和方言、英语和汉语关系,立足长远,降低强势方言所带来的市场价值和社会价值,提高普通话在本土的地位和使用规范,建立平等、和谐的语言环境,并为汉语国际地位的提升和传播创造平台。

From a socio-psycholinguistic perspective,this paper proposes that language planning in China should be reinforced and be carried out in two ways： First, in education, China should change the education programs and shorten the time for English formal education by way of teaching learners how to learn with modern facilities;second,China should popularize the use of Putonghua except for the knowledge of Putonghua. Moreover,the ＂Identity Capital＂ of such dialects as Cantonese and Shanghainese should be downplayed because ,language is a powerful potential unifying as well as divisive force which along with other social forces,will influence and even determine a country＇s harmony and stability in time of great social crisis.
