“语言世界观”对当前语文教学的启示

The Implications of “Linguistic Worldview” for Current Chinese Teaching

19世纪德国语言学家威廉·冯·洪堡特曾经提出“语言世界观”的论断,系统论述了“语言——思维——世界”的关系。他认为思维影响着语言,语言对思维具有能动的反作用,同时,语言是一个民族特有文化景观和精神风貌的忠实反映,民族的语言即民族精神的流射和体现。这与当前语文学科核心素养中语言的建构与运用、思维发展与提升、审美鉴赏与创造、文化传承与理解四个层面内容有着天然的联系,对当前语文教学具有重要的启示意义。

In the 19^th century,German linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt put forward the assertion of“linguistic worldview”and systematically discussed the relationship of“language-thinking–world”.He believes that thinking affects language,and language has a dynamic counteraction to thinking.At the same time,language is a faithful reflection of a country’s unique cultural landscape and spiritual outlook.The language of a nation is the flow and embodiment of the national spirit.This has a natural connection with the four dimensions of the key competencies of Chinese course,i.e.,the construction and application of language,the development and enhancement of thinking,aesthetic appreciation and creation,and cultural inheritance and understanding.Therefore,linguistic worldview has important implications for current Chinese teaching.
