摘要
人造语言已有超过1000年的发展历史,至今已有一千多种人造语言出现在宗教、音乐、文学、影视、动漫、游戏等领域。人造语言不仅是社会文化产品,也是信息交流、身份构建和价值观对外传播的载体。数字智能时代背景下,人造语言的社会和市场属性日益凸显。如何突破传统的语言传播模式,打造语言文化走出去的新高地,是数字时代语言生活研究面临的机遇与挑战。目前人造语言尚未得到语言学界的足够重视,有必要梳理人造语言的概念、分类和造字机制。通过分析人造语言与文化、科技的互动关系,尝试从语言推广、知识生产和象征符号建设3方面探讨如何将数字时代人造语言的研究纳入新质生产力的建设内容,打造语言学新的增长点,为中华语言文化的国际推广提供增效赋能的突破口。
Language can signal important features of social and historical change.As cultural artefacts,constructed languages constitute a key site for capturing the dynamics of socioeconomic transformations within and across national boundaries.Over the past 1000 years,constructed languages have been widely represented in various social domains across the globe.More than 1000 constructed languages have been produced in religion,music,science,novels,films,TV shows and video games.Despite the worldwide circulation over history,constructed languages as a whole are often an under-studied aspect of academic concerns within the field of sociolinguistics.This study examines the intersection between constructed languages,social change and digital technology.Drawing on a historical and sociopolitical account of constructed languages,the study first unpacks their representational practices by illuminating the power-mediated nature of constructed languages.Specifically,the study reveals that constructed languages can serve as a vehicle of articulating complex and ambivalent aspects of linguistic and cultural diversity.Followed by the analysis of the intricate web of relationship between constructed languages and social actors,the study reveals the multilayered and multifa-ceted ideological forces that shape the formation of contemporary constructed languages in the digital era.The study concludes with the semiotic,epistemological and symbolic potential of studying constructed languages.First,language and literacy development is not separated from social-material conditions but entangled with a series of multilingual,multimodal and multisensory assemblage.Second,constructed languages challenge monolingualism and Latin-based language creation mechanism by recognizing linguistic and cultural hybridization and appropriating global and local resources as knowledge construct.Third,constructed languages create a space of legitimizing indigenous practices in writing and speaking system.The study contributes to the existing li-terature of sociolinguistic studies by expanding our understanding of constructed languages as knowledge repertoires in the era of digitization.By capitalizing on constructed languages as part of the new quality productive forces,the study can shed some lights on empowering Chinese language and culture in the global digital economy.
