对"语文"本质的再思考

半个世纪以来，“语文”的内涵始终众说纷纭，大致有语言文字、语言文章、语言文学、语言文化、语言(含书面语言和口头语言)几种说法，新修订的小学、初中、高中语文教学大纲都采用了后者。但“语文就是语言”既不符合语文课本和语文教学的实际，又不能适应社会对语文教学的需求。考察社会赋予语文学科的使命，“语文”的本质应当是言语，语文教学应当是言语教学。我们呼吁构建言语学、言语教育学，编写言语教材，以满足社会的需要。

Further Reflections on the Essence of Chinese

For over half a century, there have been many ideas about the connotations of Chinese, including language and characters. Language text, language and literature, written and oral language. The newly-revised Chinese teaching program for primary, junior and senior middle school adopts the last one. However, the nature of Chinese as written and oral language neither conforms to the Chinese textbooks and Chinese teaching nor adapts to the social needs. Considering its social task, the essence of Chinese should be speech. There fore, Chinese teaching should be speech teaching . We appeal for the construction of speechology ,speech pedagogy, and appeal to compile speech textbooks to meet the social needs.
