What do you think of the phenomenon that many children can't speak dialects, but only speak Mandarin?

It is a trend that young people do not speak dialects now, but it does not mean that dialects have disappeared. Losing a camp of young people in regional dialects means that young people have lost a "label", not a cultural symbol of dialects.

You know, young people don't speak dialects, which only weakens the practical attributes of dialects, rather than making dialects lose their cultural attributes.

Therefore, the disappearance of regional dialects that the subject is worried about means "losing a lot", and I don't know what it means.

I tried to follow the theme:

1, the use of regional dialects (spoken language) is really disappearing.

The main reason is the negative attitude of young people towards dialects.

20 12 In March, the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Daily conducted an online survey of 1045 people through China and Sina.com. The results showed that 95.9% of the respondents confirmed that there were young people who were afraid to speak dialects around them, and 37. 1% said that there were not many young people who could speak pure dialects around them. In the survey, the first reason is "lack of self-confidence, feeling the local dialect" (63.9%), followed by "vanity" (54.5%), and the third reason is "feeling the local dialect is ugly" (50.9%). Another 48.7% chose "I don't want people around me to know where I am from".

Although the sample of the above survey is not large, the data reflected is very "eye-catching"

The greatest practical value of language lies in "communication", so there is usually an authoritative code in the language. In general, people will identify with the authoritative code psychologically. At present, the authoritative position of Putonghua has been constantly emphasized and promoted because Putonghua is basically needed for further studies, job hunting, business and communication with non-locals. That is, in the use of language, dialects are gradually being replaced by Putonghua. In other words, with the frequent economic and cultural exchanges and population movements, people, especially young people, are increasingly inclined to use Mandarin instead of using dialects, or even learning dialects. Dialect is really disappearing at this level.
