The Language Weight in the Global Linguistic Landscape and Analysis of Its Evaluation Metrics Framework
The language weight in the global language landscape serves as an objective basis for examining the state of global language governance.This is a critical issue for enhancing the internationalization and global influence of the Chinese language and also a strategic issue of national security and development from the perspective of Holistic National Security.However,there is a need for in-depth research on this topic.Systematically organizing and analyzing the conceptual and evaluative framework of language weight may contribute to elevating the status and role of the Chinese language in the global language landscape.Drawing upon the theory of language weight,this study explores the concept of the World Language Landscape Monitoring Platform proposed by French scholar Carl Wahl,namely the"World Language Barometer".This platform's index system provides valuable insights for devising strategies and recommendations to enhance the weight of the Chinese language.
