Abstract
With the acceleration of urbanization and the new era of China's socio-economic development, it is necessary to propose language diversity protection propositions that better meet the people's needs for a better life, by focusing on adhering to the people-oriented concept of sustainable development. Based on the dynamic evolution from the perspective of ecolinguistics, a theoretical analysis framework for the protection of language diversity in the urbanization process is constructed according to the internal logic of the language ecosystem. This analysis framework can explain the balanced development mechanism of language ecology generated by the interaction mechanism and self-regulation cycle mechanism of urbanization and language ecology participation, and continue to explore the possibility of moving towards the goal of high-quality protection of language diversity from the perspective of the transformation and practical deduction of language ecology development. The balanced development of language ecology aims to provide language resources consistent with the standard of cultural expectations for citizens. It is dedicated to continuously enhancing language diversity and social language quality of life. To this end, measures such as strengthening language ecological control based on the internal circulation of language quality,constructing interaction and feedback mechanisms between language users and language quality perception, and establishing an evaluation system for language ecology and social development should be taken to achieve high-quality development of language ecology, promote urbanization process, and truly meet the cultural needs and identity recognition of the people.
