汉语方言消亡现象一直是国内语言学界研究的热点问题,但鲜有学者从生态语言学角度来解读这一现状。本文站在生态语言学视角,从语言生态系统的特征入手,来分析汉语方言消亡的实质。笔者认为汉语方言消亡现象本质上是对汉语方言生态系统,乃至整个语言生态系统的巨大灾难。 The disappearance of Chinese dialects has been a hot issue in the study of linguistics in our country all along. However, few scholars have interpreted this situation from the perspective of ecological linguistics. This essay starts from the perspective of ecologists and analyzes the essence of the disappearance of Chinese dialects based on the characteristics of linguistic ecosystem. The author believes that the disappearance of Chinese dialects essentially is a great disaster for the Chinese dialect ecosystem and even the entire language ecosystem.
