ABSTRACT
Since the establishment of Hakka Affairs Council in 2001 and Hakka Basic Law in 2010, the promotion of Hakka language and spirit has been vigorous in every corner of Taiwan, and how to sustain this newly emerging civil force has become a critical issue to Hakka people who are determined in the promotion.
According to researches and literatures, family is the key to revive mother languages, the core to pass down languages, and the most important place to learn languages. Besides, constructing an environment for the Hakka language means to integrate the allocation of family and other learning environments including school, community, and society, based on four dimensions: human, space, time, and economy. And the most important strategy for the construction is to let the Hakka language exist truly and conspicuously.
This thesis studies the phenomenon and cause of losing the Hakka language in Chungli City of southern part of Taoyuan County. Moreover, given that Chungli City has changed a lot as developing, urbanization and modernization prevails, and the Hakka language is surrounded by dominant languages like English, Mandarin, and the Holo language, this thesis explores how governmental authorities and social force from the third sector coordinate available sources and free themselves from conventional conservatism to actively revive the Hakka language in accordance with time, place and opportunities, and then it is hoped that they would learn, with objectivity, foresight, and global vision beyond provincialism, from foreign experiences like Swiss’s encouragement for children to speak multi-languages, the Jewish family education, and Singapore’s success of global-visioned bilingual strategy, hence the fashion of learning Hakka can be formed, and the “Family Hakka Language Environment” can be constructed, so as to pass down Hakka from generations to generations, which is the purpose of this thesis.
In this research, it is found that the revival of Hakka and the construction of Hakka environment in Chyngli are affected by the fact that the city is subordinate to Taoyung County, which creates an emerging international urban environment. Therefore, mainstreamization and marketization of Hakka are the prioritized strategy and necessary measure to take. Besides, through literature review and in-depth interview, studying the phenomenon and cause of losing Hakka in the area generates three points to pass down the Hakka language as follows: awakening ethnic consciousness among Hakka people, forming language environment in the Hakka society, and learning from foreign experiences.
Keywords: language environment, ethnic recongnition, language revival, global vision
