| Abstract: This paper discusses the economic properties of language, which is a new branch on language research from a different angle on the basis of economic principles. Language is human capital because language is part of human’s labor, knowledge, skills, capacity, which aids man to gain other sorts of capital. Language carries on dual natures of commodity——value and use value when it involves human labor and makes value in use at prices. Language is rare resource which can not be distributed evenly in society. Language study fits the law of optimization. A good understanding of the economic properties of language enables people to re-recognize the aim and motivation of English language study. Moreover, it encourages people to pursue individual accomplishment according to laws of economy so as to achieve all-round development in English language education. |
