外来务工人员子女语言使用状况研究——以东莞民办小学为例

On Language Use of the Second Generation of Migrant Workers:A Case Study of Private Elementary Schools in Dongguan

本文随机抽样东莞的两所民办学校,以调查问卷为主,追踪访谈为辅,调查结果显示,东莞外来务工人员子女语言使用以普通话和家乡话为主,当地强势方言的使用比率极低;出生地、上小学前长大的地方等是影响其语言使用的重要因素。

The paper randomly sampled students from two private schools in Dongguan and carried out a questionnaire research complemented by follow-up interviews. It is found that children of migrant workers in Dongguan speak mainly Mandarin and hometown dialects, while the percentage of them speaking Cantonese, the dominant local dialect, is very low. The Places where they were born and brought up before primary school are important factors on their languageuse.
