摘要
中国语言环境复杂多样。为促进不同民族、不同语言人们之间的相互交流,普通话推广一直是新中国语言规划工作的重心。同时,为促进改革开放、加快中国国际化进程,英语教育也逐渐在教育体制内铺开。随着这些语言政策的推广,中国的语言生态正经历着前所未有的变化,尤其在城市。本研究从家庭语言规划视角探讨这些变化对城市家庭儿童语言发展的影响。通过对8组家庭日常生活用语的观察、录音和访谈调查,具体展示了这些家庭的父母是如何通过语言资源和读写能力培养方面的引导规划,一方面积极促进了儿童英语和普通话能力的培养,另一方面却极大地限制了他们方言的学习。
China is a linguistically and ethnically heterogeneous nation. To facilitate communication among people of different languages or dialects, Putonghua has been actively promoted for over half a century across China. At the same time, to support China's open-door policy and economic development, English has also been promoted throughout the educational systems at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Such nationwide promotion of Putonghua and English has greatly changed the linguistic ecology in China, particularly in urban contexts. This study reports on an ethnographic study involving eight Chinese urban families with children aged 5-11 years. By studying the children's family language audits, observing their language/literacy practices, and engaging them in conversation about their language ideologies, this inquiry unveils how parents provide linguistic resources and literacy support to facilitate children's bilingual development in English and Putonghua while limiting the development of their home dialect.
