语言政策与规划中的能动性研究:回顾与展望

Research on Agency in Language Policy and Planning:Retrospect and Prospect

语言政策与规划(LPP)中的能动性研究已成为该学科的关键议题之一。本文依据研究导向和议题的发展脉络,将LPP的发展历程划分为4个阶段:语言问题观、语言权利观、语言生态观和语言资源观,并剖析各阶段能动性研究视角的演变轨迹。能动性研究主要立足于社会文化理论、语言生态理论、复杂动态系统理论和实在主义社会论的多元视角,通过民族志和话语分析等质性研究方法,并结合量化分析工具进行主题分析和内容分析。研究议题涉及客观世界与能动性的交互作用、语言教育中多元主体的能动性、语言选择和语言保持中的能动性以及语言景观中的能动性等诸多方面。未来有必要进一步拓展LPP能动性研究的理论框架和研究方法,深化集体能动性的相关研究,并特别关注中国特定语境下能动性研究的深化与拓展。

The research on agency in Language Policy and Planning(LPP)has emerged as one of pivotal topics in this field.This research delineates the evolutionary trajectory of research orientations and themes,shedding light on the shifts in perspectives on agency across four phases of LPP development:language as problem,language as right,language as ecology,and language as resource.Researchers on agency in LPP primarily draw upon theoretical frameworks derived from sociocultural theory,language ecology,complex dynamic systems theory,and realist social theory.Methodologically,researchers employ a comprehensive approach,integrating qualitative research methods such as ethnography and discourse analysis,in conjunction with quantitative analytical tools for thematic analysis and content analysis.The exploration within this domain encompasses multifaceted aspects,including the interaction between structure and agency,the agency of various agents in language education,the agency in language choice and language maintenance,and the agency in language landscapes.In the future,it is imperative to further expand the theoretical frameworks and research methodologies of agency in LPP,delve deeper into collective agency research,and broaden the scope and depth of agency research within the specific context of China.
