Political Linguistics 政治语言学

Language stands as a quintessential attribute of humanity. The enduring debate over whether language shapes thought or vice versa has captivated the greatest minds across history. Yet, the role of language in the political sphere remains underexplored.

Approaching from an empirical perspective, this project aims to uncover the impacts of linguistic relativity and language policy on the dynamics between government and the public, as well as on the formation and reformation of collective political consciousness.

语言是人类最根本的属性。 历史上，关于“是思维在塑造语言，还是语言塑造了思维”的争论一直吸引着众多伟大的理论家和科学家。 尽管如此，语言在政治领域的角色还远未被充分研究。 这一项目试图从实证角度拓展政治语言学研究领域，尤其注重探究语言相对论和语言政策对政府与民众互动关系以及集体政治认知的形成与重构的影响。
