构建民族地区双语和谐社会的思考

Reflections on Building a Harmonious Society of Bilingualism in Ethnic Regions

为了构建民族地区双语和谐社会,语言规划、语言教育政策的制定应本着兼顾少数民族的眼前需要和长远利益的原则,既要考虑语言的工具性及其社会文化功能特点,也不能忽略语言的情感因素和认同功能,鼓励并保障母语与通用语并行使用,支持少数民族地区不同教学模式的学校并存;协调少数民族传统文化与现代经济社会发展的关系,兼顾少数民族精神和物质两方面的需求;有效协调民族认同和国家认同的关系。

In order to build a harmonious society of bilingualism in ethnic regions,language planning and policy for language education should be made in accordance with both immediate need and long term interest of ethnic minorities.In other words,we should take into consideration of the tool function and social and cultural functions of language on one hand;and on the other hand,we should not neglect emotional factor and identity function of language.Efforts should be made to encourage and guarantee the application of both mother tongue and national common language,support coexistence of schools using different teaching models in ethnic regions,integrate traditional culture of ethnic minorities into economic development of modern society,balance spiritual and material needs of ethnic minorities and effectively coordinate relations between ethnic identity and national identity.
