摘　　要：言语社区理论是社会语言学的重要理论,它的发展将有利于语言学和社会语言学各类研究的有机整合。言语社区理论研究语言内部的差异性和同一性的对立统一关系,确定言语社区的同一性的实证基础及其与差异特征之间的定量关系。坚持社区第一性、语言第二性的原则可以克服“语言”社“社区”概念之间的循环定义错误。言语社区要素可以转换为定量指标,从而用来进行言语社区的实体测定。言语社区理论为语言学的发展提供了-条新途径,即对语言使用者的组织系统的研究。The Theory of Speech Community(TSC) is important because its development promises fur-ther integration of different strands of linguistics and sociolinguistics studies.TSC focuses on the dialecticunity of a language and its components.It facilitates empirical verification of uniformity while gauging theanount of variation,Insisting on the principle of “community being primary and language being secondlary”,we can overcome the tautological errors in defining such concepts as“language”and“community”. The es-sential components of a speech community can be operationalized into measurable indices.These will in turnbe used in the determination and demarcation of a speech community. TSC complements the studies of sound-meaning systems of language with the system of language users.
