Abstract

Cultural capital is rooted in the social structure and institutional legal environment. Language, as one of the important carriers of culture, plays an important role in the acquisition of cultural capital. Language rights have the function of constructing a system and legal guarantee for the realization of cultural capital. This research is based on relevant Chinese laws and is combined with specific interviews and research to observe the protection of language rights in practice and analyze its impact on the realization of cultural capital. China has corresponding legal protection for language rights at the institutional level, which has promoted the realization of the cultural capital of language minorities to a certain extent, but there is still room for improvement.
