与推行普通话,推广全民族共同语的大趋势相悖,近些年来,不时听到一些方言爱好者,包括语言学家,在那里呼吁“保护方言”了。其理由也很堂皇,譬如,方言是文化的载体,方言本身就是文化,每一种文化都有生存和发展的权利,应该尊重文化的多元并存格局。 In contrast to the general trend of promoting Putonghua and promoting the common national language, some dialect lovers, including linguists, have been heard from time to time in recent years, where they called for “protection of dialects.” For example, dialects are carriers of culture. Dialects themselves are cultures. Each culture has the right to survive and develop. Cultural diversity should be respected.
