Abstract
The modernization of state governance is a new concept formulated in 2013, marking a new stage in the historical process of China’s modernization. Modernization of language governance, as an important component of modernization of state governance and a new development of national language policy and planning in the new historical period, has two different connotations: “system and capacity” on the one hand, and “ontology and application” on the other. The modernization of language governance is embodied in many aspects, such as leadership, development patterns, concepts, institutions, science and technology, think tanks, teams and disciplines, etc. In face of unprecedented changes in the 21st century, China’s modernization of language governance has taken on new approaches and trends. In this paper, the historical positioning, connotations and dimensions of language governance modernization have been elaborated, and the views can hopefully advance the exploration of state governance modernization in China.
