Language Security in the Digital Age:Problems,Causes and Governance
Language security issues not only concern such security problems of language itself as language ecology,language norms and purity,but also cover those security problems of language behaviors like spreading improper language information,abusing language data and manipulating language as a tool for public opinion wars and information wars.The overwhelming impacts of digital technology on languages,insufficient knowledge of language security and inadequacy of related laws and regulations turn out to be the major causes.Language security problems are language problems and social problems as well.Therefore,a language governance mechanism,against the four social governance principles-systematic governance,source-addressing governance,law-based governance and holistic governance,may not only serve as a feasible way to language security governance in the digital age,but also cater for the integrated construction of the national governance system.
