Language Standardization in the Information Age (Article written in Chinese)

LI Yuming

Abstract

China has seen great popularization of education, mass media and information technological products. It is imperative to establish a system of language standardization for Chinese to meet the growing social needs. In the information age, language standards have become products with industrial features. The work of language standardization is, therefore, part of the national standardization strategy as well as the basis of language policy. The current age urges us to wisely manage the macro system of language standardization, to take a new perspective of language standardization, and to coordinate the work of standardization.

Keywords: information age; language; standardization
