“全球视野”与“本土意识”——“世界英语”视角下的“中国英语”研究前沿热点

“Global Vision”and “Local Consciousness”— The Frontier of “China English” Research from the Perspective of “World English”

全球视野并不等于没有主体意识,"中国英语"研究的出发点和最终落脚点应当是中国的价值意识和本土精神。中国观点的世界表达的前提是必须建立中国英语使用者的语言身份认同感,这一观点是"世界英语"视角下研究"中国英语"的新方向。本文先回顾了"世界英语"理论的三大核心论点,然后简述"中国英语"研究的三个阶段,最后通过例子对目前国外关于中国英语研究的一些方向进行介绍,文章认为"中国英语"研究的前沿热点是朝着如何确立本土意识方面发展的。

The global view does not mean that there is no subject consciousness. Establishing user identity of English language under the current circumstances of globalization is one of the key issues in China English research. The ultimate goal of China English research is thus to raise the cultural consciousness and Chinese values embedded in the English language that Chinese users produce. These constitute the starting point and final goal of the relevant research. This paper first adduces the key features of the World English theory, followed by the summary of the three stages of research on English used in Chinese context. Then a review on the oversea themes of the empirical research on China English is made, aiming to propose that the research direction of it is the establishment of language identity of Chinese values and cultures.
