Language Ecology During COVID-19 Prevention And Control

During the COVID-19,epidemic related slogans,epidemic prevention information,epidemic situation notification and health and health knowledge publicity and other public domain information published and transmitted were all important carriers of language.From urban to rural,from reality to network,multilingual anti epidemic language provides multiple language services for various audiences of different ages,regions and cultural backgrounds,and plays an important role in the efficient dissemination of epidemic related information and popularization of scientific anti epidemic knowledge.Based on systemic functional linguistics and sociolinguistics theories,this study integrates the methods of discourse analysis and social survey to explore the use and demand characteristics of plague language,and constructs a framework for the study of language ecology in the public domain in the COVID-19 era.It includes three parts:the use characteristics,demand situation and related language planning of epidemic prevention language.The study found that novel coronavirus pneumonia system was developed in the public domain in COVID-19,which is a language symbol system which is used in public language space and is related to the outbreak of new crown pneumonia.Although it is not an independent language,it is the specific application of language in the public field of the COVID-19 era.It has specific communicative purposes,that is,disseminating information on epidemic situation,popularizing scientific and epidemic prevention knowledge,and calling for mass action.This study,by collecting typical anti epidemic texts,building corpus and analyzing relevant texts,finds that when using epidemic resistant language,it is influenced by cultural and situational context,and forms a specific genre potential,and its genre structure consists of three essential steps and three optional steps.The whole ecology of anti epidemic language is harmonious,and its communicative function is counteractive on the whole epidemic environment.In the cultural context,Mandarin,dialect,minority languages and foreign languages blend and complement each other in the public field.The integration of various modes shows the ideology of "serious,active anti epidemic,and full efforts to protect the people’s health and safety".In the context of situation,the discourse scope of epidemic resistant language has its particularity in the choice of time,place and social hot topics;communicators of anti epidemic language include the information publisher,the subject of anti epidemic events and the masses as the information receiver of epidemic resistance;its discourse style features obvious features,including short length,oral expression,high frequency use of imperative sentence and rhetoric Flexible use of means.However,there are still non ecological anti epidemic language phenomena,including uncivilized,irregular information and untrue and reliable rumors.On the other hand,Henan Province,which has outstanding performance in the fight against epidemic,is taken as an example to investigate the language ability,language attitude and language demand of residents.According to the survey,residents pay more attention to the use of anti epidemic language,and the attention of youth is much higher than that of the middle and old.Residents have basic code application ability in the whole,and some residents do not have code conversion ability.More than half of the residents have the basic identification ability of epidemic rumors,but more than one third of them still have difficulties in identifying epidemic rumors.Among them,the rumor type with absolute words is most likely to be misjudged as true,followed by common sense without characteristics,and then the category of unclear information source and information pointing to the unknown.In addition,residents have a polarization attitude towards the phenomenon of dialect integration into anti epidemic language,while the integration of network popular language is more supportive.Most residents affirm the importance of standardized and civilized language in the spread of epidemic information,and express their disgust to the nonstandard and uncivilized anti epidemic language.The residents’ cultural level,monthly income level,code application ability,information decoding ability and behavior in the face of irregular and uncivilized epidemic information have an impact on the residents’ emotional tendency of anti epidemic language.Residents are satisfied with the ecological situation of anti epidemic language,but some of them have not been met,including language skills,civilization and regulation,and ballad identification and balladThrough the comprehensive analysis of the use of anti epidemic language in public language space,as well as the language ability,language attitude and language needs of the residents as the audience,this study finally focuses on language planning,divides the types of anti epidemic language resources into two categories:subject and derivation.According to the different allocation subjects,the resource allocation methods are divided into official and folk oriented.The research shows that the allocation of anti epidemic language resources has three attributes:multimodality,mobilization and dependence;the self value of the language resources(including the implicit value of language norm and structure reference,as well as the explicit cultural value,economic value and strategic value)and the difference of the identity of the main body of the language planning become the necessity and importance of promoting the language planning of epidemic resistance factor.Under the guidance of language planning theory,this study puts forward seven suggestions from the perspectives of ontology planning,status planning and service planning:pay attention to language civilization and language reality,establish specialized institutions to standardize the management related terms;while ensuring the status of Mandarin,dialect,minority languages and foreign language,we should speed up the establishment of special language standardization mechanisms such as sign language and Braille To improve the status of sign language and Braille in practical application;to strengthen the professional science popularization and provide the education service for epidemic prevention;to expand the coverage of multilingual code and provide the training service for anti epidemic language skills;to train professional talents and improve the construction of anti epidemic language translation service platform;to establish a specialized language emergency management organization and improve the construction of emergency system and mechanism;to improve the awareness of digital resources construction,build and improve the corpus of public emergencies.
