Research on the Coupling and Coordination of New Quality Productivity Factors and Language Skill Development Empirical Analysis Based on Grey Relational Degree Model
Main Article Content
Abstract
Against the background of a new technological revolution and accelerated industrial transformation, new quality productivity, characterized by technological innovation, digital technology, human capital, data elements, and green development, has a deeply coupled relationship with language skill development. Language skills function not only as tools for communication but also as carriers for cross-cultural technical exchange, knowledge dissemination, standard coordination, and engineering collaboration. Based on coupling coordination theory and grey system theory, this study constructs a binary analytical framework of “new quality productivity elements-language skill development”. National-level panel data from 2013 to 2022 are selected, the grey relational model is used to calculate the correlation strength among core elements, the entropy-weight coupling coordination model is applied to measure coordinated development, and regression analysis is used to verify key influencing factors. The results reveal that digital language skills and professional language skills have the strongest association with new quality productivity. The framework is also applicable to advanced engineering fields, including electromagnetic standards, antenna-related technical communication, and international collaboration in electromagnetic-wave technologies. The study provides empirical evidence and policy references for improving language capability under high-quality industrial transformation.
