Abstract:China’s language legislation has made significant strides and notable achievements, though it still faces challenges such as weak systematisation, low feasibility and limited content. To address these issues and scientifically advance language legislation in the new era, it is essential to strengthen research on linguistic functional planning. Linguistic function planning involves the planning of the fields, realisation paths, and coordination of multilingual multifunctionalities. It emphasizes the orderly and comprehensive utilisation of multilingual multifunctionalities and provides an analytical framework for constructing language policy and strategy systems. The core task of language legislation is to establish a comprehensive language policy system, while its primary function is to provide legal guarantees for implementing the national language strategy. From the perspective of linguistic functional planning, language legislation in the new era should oversee the overall situation of language life, coordinate the relationship between multilingual multifunctionalities, explore the construction of a national obligation model, and address the needs for high-quality development in language and writing. It should aim to build a legal system that encompasses language norms, language education, language and cultural construction, and language services.
