论中华文化自信中的汉语语言力量

The Power of Chinese for Self-confidence in the Chinese Culture

本文从文化与语言之间相互影响的视角出发，论证汉语语言在中华文化自信建构中所展现出的巨大力量。论文作者以现代汉语的动补结构为示例，在梳理了其从古汉语的单一的线性结构到现代汉语的曲折复杂结构的发展历程之后，认为现代汉语动补结构可能是世界上语法化历史最悠久的语言结构之一，甚至是一种标杆式的先锋结构，它与其他汉语中的语言结构一道有力地推进了中华文化的发展。汉语拥有众多这样类似的语言结构，它们一道成为中华文化自信建构的推动力，因此我们有充足的理据树立汉语的语言自信。

Based on the close relationship between culture and language, this paper makes an attempt to probe into the power of the Chinese language in the development of the splendid Chinese culture. To take the resultative construction as a case in point, the author starts with a review of the historical development of the resultative construction in ancient Chinese to its corresponding counterpart in modem Chinese, arguing that the resultative construction in modern Chinese is actually a pioneering linguistic structure of its kind. It is assumed that the resultative construction together with other Chinese language structures plays a powerful role in the establishment of self-confidence in the Chinese culture.The paper concludes by claiming that we have much motivation to be self-confident in the Chinese language for its power to carry forward the glorious Chinese culture.
