The Influence of Language Ecological Crisis Study on Current Language Policy (Article written in Chinese)

BO Shousheng & DONG Zhaohui

Abstract

As more and more languages are disappearing in the world, some linguists think the disappering reflects the language ecological crisis, and appeal for the diversity of languages. Based on some ecolinguistics studies, we reflected on it in five aspects such as language diversity, crisis of language ecology, development models, language policy and agnosticism, we concluded that our current language policy should be in accord with our country’s basic condition.

Keywords: language endangerment; language diversity; development models; language policy
