全球华语学学科概念的提出和建立既有可能性,也有必要性。可能性一方面来自语言研究各分支学科普遍存在的“××”“××学”(如“汉语语法”与“汉语语法”)二分现实的支持,另一方面则来自该项研究现时已经具有的历史条件,明确、固定且有区别性的研究对象,自己的理论与方法以及相对固定的学术队伍和阵地。建立全球华语学的必要性表现在:是全球华语研究顶层设计的需要,且它的最终建立必将有利于拓展研究范围、提高水平、加深认识,同时也有利于该领域理论的建构和完善。
This paper analyzes the possibility and necessity of establishing Global Chinese Linguistics as an academic discipline. The possibility of this endeavor derives from two aspects. On the one hand, the scientifi c study of language phenomena in a specific field is conventionally named as linguistics preceded by a modifi er, e.g. Chinese linguistics as the study of Chinese language. Therefore, the study of global Chinese named as Global Chinese Linguistics would be a natural naming practice. On the other hand, the research in Global Chinese so far has built up a solid foundation for the framing of a new discipline. The necessity of establishing Global Chinese Linguistics mainly lies in the top layer planning of global Chinese language research. It is argued that the formulation of Global Chinese Linguistics will help to expand the research scope, strengthen the research capacity, and conduct in-depth relevant studies, which will in turn be conducive to the theoretical construction in this field.
