多民族国家少数民族兼用通用语的趋势及国家策略——以中、泰、缅、老四国为例

The Trend Which People in Minority Areas of Multi-Nationality Country Concurrently Use Their Lingua Franca and Relative National Strategies——Taking China,Thailand,Burma and Laos as Examples

以中、泰、缅、老四国少数民族为例,论述多民族国家少数民族除了使用自己的母语外并兼用国家通用语是语言生活的总趋势,还对兼用通用语的特点和成因进行了分析。多民族国家母语和通用语的关系是复杂的,具有统一性、互补性、矛盾性的多重特点,处理好少数民族母语和国家通用语的关系,其基本原则是坚持语言平等、重视语言保护。

Taking China,Thailand, Burma and Laos as examples, this paper discusses the trend which people in minority areas of multi-nationality country concurrently use their lingua franca and analyzes the features and causes of concurrently using their lingua franca. There is a complex relationship be- tween native language and lingua franca in multi-nationality country such as unity, complement, and paradox. Handling this complex relationship depends on the principle of insisting language equality and attaching importance to language protection.
