On the Integration of Linguistic Research

This paper focuses on the integration of linguistics abroad and Chinese linguistics. Firstly, it expounds its rationality from the perspective of philosophical concepts. For example, linguistics, in terms of its connotation, should include linguistics abroad and Chinese linguistics; it conforms to the national language strategy under the background of “New Era, Greater Mindset” and “New Liberal Arts, Macro Foreign Languages”; it can best realize M. A. K. Halliday's Chinese complex and academic thinking from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. In this process, there are also several problems to be solved.For example, Chinese universities rarely set up departments of linguistics;most schools and departments of foreign languages in Chinese universities lay emphasize on literary traditions and do not pay much attention to the pilot role of linguistics; international conferences on languages and linguistics at home and abroad do not attach importance to Chinese. To this end, this paper proposes several suggestions: adopting the dialectical philosophy of the “continuum”; adding sub-disciplines under the existing “Literature” and “Linguistics”; employing the theory of “appliable linguistics” to evaluate various sub-disciplines and their research progress.
