Origó-alapú metanyelvi keret a mandarin potenciális világnyelvi szerepéhez
Abstract
Mandarin is increasingly framed as an "easy" global language: little inflection,few paradigms, and a seemingly transparent word order. This preprint arguesthat such a framing is not a descriptive fact but a metalanguage-level categoryerror: it exports an Indo-European, label-centric grammar ontology into a systemwhose complexity is redistributed to operators, positional licensing,construction inventories, and discourse-dependent constraints. In world-language conditions, didactics is not merely pedagogy; it isinfrastructural ontology. A wrong descriptive interface does not remain local:it scales through standards, curricula, and language technology, creating anontological lock-in that later distorts learning, assessment, and contactoutcomes. We propose an explicit coordinate system ("Origó") that separates a publicprinciples layer from implementation-specific teaching engines, while preservingcompatibility with institutional testing without letting test metalanguagebecome the sole ontology. The core invariants of Origó are grammar-as-operation,operator-first organization, positional grammar, construction inventory, anddiscourse as licensed structure. The paper concludes with testable predictionsand a minimal pilot protocol.
