Abstract

Dialect is a differentiated language produced in the development of human society. It has diversified pronunciation patterns and carries the cultural memory of residents in a region. In the era of globalization, with the increasingly frequent communication between human in different regions, the voice of using a unified and standardized language becomes increasingly louder. Diversification and unification became two trends in the language movement. To have a dialectical view of the two trends, we need to understand the history of the development of dialects, clear the influence the dialect gives to residents. This paper analyzes the efforts made by various countries to promote standardized languages or protect dialects, discusses the value of these measures base on China’s national conditions to provide ideas for the current and future social language development.
