Abstract

This article discusses language problems in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It is divided into four sections.

The problems include the status and functions of the national common language and the three-language issue concerning Chinese, English and Portuguese; requirements concerning the development of language resources requested by the strategic positioning of the Greater Bay Area. The third and fourth sections propose nine strategies for the development of language resources in the Greater Bay Area from spatial and field patterns respectively. Responding to different tasks at different stages and situations, different development strategies should be employed. This article ends with a brief conclusion.
