The Research And Survey Of Dongxing’s Borderer Language Usage In Guangxi Under The Background Of Promotion Mandarin To Alleviate Poverty

Dongxing of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is located on the border between China and Vietnam.It is the national first-class open port and is an important gateway and international transportation hub for China to open to ASEAN.The special geographical location,frequent population flow,close economic and trade exchanges,together with diverse ethnic groups,make the local language ecological environment more complex,and there are many factors affecting social and economic development.In January 2018,the Ministry of Education,the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council and the State Language Commission jointly formulated The Action Plan of Promotion Mandarin to Eeliminate Poverty(2018-2020),Relevant areas are required to give full play to the positive role of Mandarin in improving the basic quality of the labor force and help the new labor force to have the ability to use Mandarin.Under such background,With the help of theories of sociolinguistics,Linguistic Ecology and linguistic economics,questionnaire survey and data analysis are used.Through a full sample survey of the language use and economic income of the residents in the border areas of Dongxing,we can understand the language ecological environment of the area in a more comprehensive way,and excavate the relationship between the language ability of the residents and economic income,so as to put forward some suggestions for the local language policy in the context of the current poverty alleviation strategy.Through the analysis of the survey data,it can be found that the language(dialect)ecology in the border areas of Dongxing presents a situation of "dominant language dominance and coexistence of multiple languages".Benefiting from the universality policy that has been pursued,Mandarin as a common language occupies a dominant position in the border areas of Dongxing,while Cantonese dialect as the mother tongue,covers a wide range of areas and is powerful due to historical accumulation and intergenerational transmission.Jing language and Hakka dialect are concentrated distribution mainly influenced by the popularity of the users.Because of the limited population and the strong external language,the influence of Jing language is declining,and it only circulates frequently within the ethnic group.Hakka dialect is well preserved and relatively fixed because of its short entry time and strong awareness of mother tongue protection.Although Vietnamese and Jing language are homologous,but the channels of learning Jing language come from foreign contacts in cross-border trade,they tend to belong to the position of foreign language for non-Jing ethnic groups,so Vietnamese has a higher demand for ambassadorial use but there are fewer masters.The Zhuang language is sporadically distributed in the border areas.In terms of language use,the residents of the Sino-Vietnamese border show the characteristics of comprehensiveness,stability and harmony,but the specific performance and specific needs of different languages are still distinction.In addition,the analysis of residents’ language competence and income level shows that there is a positive correlation between residents’ language proficiency and income level,regardless of the number or level of language use.Therefore,it is an effective and easy-to-implement measure for the local government to help residents develop their language competence and improve their language use level in the process of poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation.Therefore,as border areas and ethnic minority areas,Dongxing Government should take the initiative and measures in maintaining language harmony,strengthening language protection,expanding language popularization and achieving language poverty alleviation,through perfecting language policy,promoting social progress and national unity,achieve win-win results in language work and economic development.
