Language Legislation and Public Language Life (Article written in Chinese)

WANG Li

Abstract

Through an investigation on Wuhan public knowledge of language legislation and people’s language life, we have reached a primary understanding of the popularization of China’s language policy and the effects of their official implementation. This paper suggests that language policy be integrated into the national education of its legal knowledge, its patriotism, and linguistic situation, through the popularization of Hanyu Pinyin (漢語拼音). Thus based on elementary education, the language quality and legal awareness of the public will be improved.

Keywords: national language policies; public linguistic life; language planning; linguistic investigation; sociolinguistics
