家庭语言政策与儿童语言发展

Family Language Policy and Child Language Development

家庭语言领域逐渐成为经典语言政策研究的重点领域。本文综述了家庭语言政策与儿童语言发展的关系,探讨了儿童语言发展视域下家庭语言政策研究的七个领域以及影响家庭语言意识的五大因素,并从儿童语言发展的各个阶段出发,提出了家庭语言政策应该为其提供的规划路径和系统策略。家庭语言政策研究应该在儿童语言发展,婴幼儿早教,家庭双语、多语习得等方面实现它的系统规划功能,更应该为儿童与养育者之间的相互关系研究、父母的语言意识研究、社会语言态度研究以及社会的双语多语文化建构提供重要的路径规划。

For every individual who has a need for language development, the family is where all language policies begin, and where all the worthwhile language policies are ultimately implemented. The family language policy as an academic subject has gradually become the focus of post classical language policy research. This paper analyzes the relationship between family language policy and child language development, and explores seven areas of family language policy research from the perspective of child language development. We then also examine the fi ve factors that can have impact on family language awareness. Based on this, we propose planning approaches and strategies that correspond to respective developing phases of child language development. In conclusion, we argue that family language policy study should play a role in systematically planning child language development, early childhood education, and bilingual or multilingual acquisition. Moreover, it should also provide practical reference in studying the relationship between children and nurturers, parents' language awareness, social attitude towards language and constructing bilingualism and multilingualism.
