中国语言服务产业研究综述及评价

A Review of Studies on Language Service Industry in China

语言服务产业是近年来语言经济学研究提出并日益受到重视的一个概念,是一个尚未完全从传统产业中独立出来的新兴产业。近年来关于语言服务产业的学术研究主要集中在概念界定、供需管理、发展模式与制约因素、语言的经济价值、语言消费、语言服务产业结构、产业化、产业竞争力、产业管理和区域语言服务产业等方面,研究质量不高,研究议题缺乏深度,研究方法单一。未来应主要侧重从产业经济学高度对语言服务业的产业定位、产业组织、关联、布局等问题和语言服务产业经济学研究范式的建立等方面进行研究。

Language service industry is one of the key areas of research in economics of language and has not entirely been separated from the traditional industries.Discussions on this emerging industry have been carried out on a number of issues including defining key terms,management of supply and demand,mode of development and restrictive factors of this new industry,the economic value of languages,language consumption,industry structure,industrialization,industrial competitiveness,industrial management and regional language service industry,etc.A review of these researches proves that there are at least three weaknesses,namely,poor quality,shallowness of the researches,and monotonous research method.This paper proposes that future researches should cover such issues as industrial orientation,organization,layout,and the economic paradigm of language service industry.
