国际跨境语言管理:现状与趋势

Management of Cross-border Languages: Current Situation and Future Trends

跨境语言在全球范围内普遍存在,近年来随着全球化的不断推进获得了越来越多的关注,尤其是在非洲和欧洲等地区已逐步成为一种需要特殊处理的专门管理对象。相关实践显示,对跨境语言的有效管理可以改善族际关系、维护地区稳定,并促进区域在经济、社会和政治领域的融合。在实际管理中,各国政府较为重视来自底层的交际需求,为跨境语言赋予适当的法律地位,协调其拼写规范和专业术语,并在基础教育甚至高等教育中使用跨境语言,以实现相应的管理目标。未来对于跨境语言的管理将更依赖于跨国平台,呈现出区域化特征,并出现更多地方化的管理方案,但较难形成全球通用的范式。

This overview provides a glimpse to the current situations and future trends of cross-border languages management in the global context. As globalization continues to advance, cross-border languages as a global phenomenon is drawing more academic attention. This paper examines the practices of managing cross-border languages in African and European countries. It is shown that out of the practical needs jfrom below and strategic interests from above, most national governments have taken planning measures, such as limited legal recognition, continuous orthographic and terminological standardization, and increased usage in basic or higher education, to manage the cross-border languages. It is predicted that in the future, the management of cross-border languages would rely increasingly on trans-national mechanisms with areal characteristics, which will lead to more regionalized solutions yet few universally accepted paradigms. In short, proper management of cross-border languages, as conceived of by policymakers,can yield positive effects,such as better interethnic relationship,improved areal stability, and upgraded economic, social and political integration.
