Abstract

At present, the problem of micro-corruption such as “language bribery” is getting increasingly serious. It is of great practical significance to analyze the internal causes and put forward feasible countermeasures. On the basis of summarizing the existing researches of scholars in the academic circle, this paper summarizes the main performance of “language bribery”, and uses the Agenda-setting Theory to examine the influences and causes of “language bribery”. Finally, the article puts forward the corresponding governance strategies. “Language bribery” is characterized by the vague expression of “official duty” and “deputy duty”, caused by the prominent rank of “resume” and “ability”, and influenced by the bureaucracy growth of “relationship-seeking” and “rent-seeking”. According to the Agenda-setting Theory, correcting the communication idea of “official standard”, improving the communication method of “deliberative” and optimizing the communication strategy of “public opinion field” are the good strategies to control “language bribery”. In addition, tackling the problem of “language bribery” requires the joint efforts of the government, society and citizens. The government only plays a guiding role in the process of governance, and the society and citizens are the backbone force to solve this problem. For scholars, it is necessary to further elaborate the research issues and examine the causes and influences of “language bribery” from different perspectives. Only in this way can China’s anti-corruption governance be effective.
