Title: The Shift Toward Social Self-Awareness in Language Studies: A Review of New Per­spectives on Language Studies of “the Belt and Road Initiative”

Abstract: New Perspectives on Language Studies of “the Belt and Road Initiative” is based on the context of globalization and “the Belt and Road Initiative”. It systematically explores the core role of language as a strategic resource. The book constructs a four-in-one theoretical framework of “Language Strategy—Language Services—Language Education—People-to-People Connectivity,” breaking through the traditional disciplinary boundaries of linguistic re­search and emphasizing that language studies must serve national strategic needs. In terms of theoretical innovation, it introduces five key functions of language services: communication, education, regulation, narration, and dissemination, advocating for a shift in language planning from a functional tool to the co-creation of strategic value. Methodologically, it integrates field research and interdisciplinary analysis, providing empirical evidence of the value-added effects of language services on economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchange. On the practi­cal level, it promotes a “Chinese + Professional” compound talent development model to sup­port the localization of Chinese-funded enterprises and enhance people-to-people connectivity. This book offers a paradigm for language research within the Belt and Road Initiative that combines both academic value and practical guidance, driving the shift of linguistics from aca­demic self-awareness to social self-awareness.
