回到语言:重新审视“五四”的一种方式

Back to Language: A Way to Re-comprehending the May 4th Movement

随着白话文越来越成为日常生活一部分,"五四"语言变革的划时代意义也越来越被漠视和磨损。特别是在网络媒介异常发达的今天,图像和影像的精彩纷呈更是挤压了文字语言的生存空间。然而当我们回首"五四"以来的一百年历程,会发现语言的变革和思想文化变革始终处于一种相伴相生的复杂关系,即便是在读图越来越成为主流趋势的当下,文字语言也有着不可替代的独特价值。

With the vernacular language becoming more and more part of daily life,the epoch-making significance of the“May 4th”language change has been increasingly ignored and worn out.Especially in today’s highly developed network media,the splendid appearance of pictures and images has squeezed the living space of written language.However,when we look back on the hundred-year history of the May 4th Movement,we will find that the change of language and ideology and culture are always in the complicated relationship.Even at the moment when the reading of pictures is becoming the mainstream trend,the written language has its unique value that can not be replaced.
