中国语言规划的开拓者——纪念周有光先生
The Pioneer in Chinese Language Planning: In Memoriam of Zhou Youguang
周有光先生是“中国语言规划的理论家和实践者”。他在《汉语拼音方案》制定与推行等实际工作中成绩卓著,对中国语言规划的学术定位等理论问题的思考也非常具有启发性,值得后辈学人研究继承。周有光先生的著述中以“语文现代化”指“语言规划(计划)”,启示我们注重中国语言规划研究的个性,注重学术史的研究角度。周有光先生在语言规划方面的成功实践,对相关工作原则和语言文字理论的思考,都启示我们语言规划研究必须关注现实应用,坚持科学严谨的研究态度,需要具有全局意识和发展的眼光,兼顾时代需求和语言文字发展规律。
CJLPP colleagues are saddened by the passing of an important fi gure in Chinese language modernization, Mr. Zhou Youguang, who passed away peacefully at 112 year old in Beijing, January 14, 2017. This article attempts to summarize his life achievements in simplifying and transliterating Chinese characters and to evaluate the influence on scholarly work on Chinese language planning in the future. Mr. Zhou Yuanguang is both “a theorist and a professional in Chinese language planning”. He had significant contribution in practical work of devising and promoting Chinese Pinyin Scheme, and his insights on various issues about theorizing Chinese language planning are specially inspirational and should be further studied and carried on by future researchers. Language planning in Zhou’s work is referred to as ‘language modernization’, and this behooves us to pay special attention to the characteristics of Chinese language planning and to give more importance to studying it from perspective of academic history. Mr. Zhou’s practical success in Chinese language planning and his observation in working guiding principles and theories concerning language and script has many implications for both researchers and practitioners, including to focus more on practical application in real life and to pursue a scientific and rigorous working culture. To follow Zhou’s step, we should also develop a vision with wider spectrum aiming at future development, and it is also important to respond to social demand when conducting research in accordance with developing rules of language and script.
