雅化还是俗化:语言规范过程中的矛盾与平衡

Argument Between Refinement and Conventionalization in Language Standardization

历代政府都通过制定和颁布语言文字标准进行语言规范工作,以指导人们的语言行为。语言规范中存在着雅化和俗化两种力量。语言规范过程其实就是一个规范和不规范、雅化和俗化的矛盾与平衡过程。语言规范中到底是从雅还是从俗,必须具体问题具体分析。在网络化和信息化时代的今天,语言俗化的力量会在语言规范中得到加强,因此每个语言工作者更应努力把握好语言雅化的大方向,确保语言有序、健康地发展。

Successive governments have formulatee and promulgated language standards to regulate language so as to guide people's language behavior.There are two main streams in language standardization:refinement and conventionalization.Language standardization,in nature,is a process involving contradiction and balance between standardization and non-standardization and that between refinement and conventionalization.To be standard or not to be in language standardization depends on specific case analysis.In the age of network and information,the power of language conventionalization will be strengthened in language standardization.So efforts should be made to grasp the trend of language refinement and ensure the orderly and healthy development of language.
