摘要

In order to underst and the impact of language ability on earnings of rural migrant workers,through both absolute income and relative income perspectives,this paper establishes an econometric model by using migrant workers'investigation data in Shanghai in 2011.It is found that the improvement of proficiency in Shanghai dialect is not only beneficial to the increase of their absolute income but also relative to the positive perception of their relative income,while the influence of mandarin and hometown dialect is not significant on neither absolute nor relative income.Shanghai dialect, as an important non-institutional factor,has been a media for migrant workers to gain psychological equality,which plays a positive role in their active integration to city life and in their perception of being discriminated.%本文采用国家统计局上海调查总队2011年上海外来农民工情况调查数据，基于绝对收入和相对收入双重视角，通过建立计量模型实证分析了语言对外来农民工收入的影响。研究表明，上海话熟练程度的提高不仅有利于增进其绝对收入，而且还会对其相对收入的感知起到正向作用。普通话和家乡话的熟练程度对其绝对收入和相对收入的影响均不显著。上海话作为一种重要的非制度因素，已经成为上海市外来农民工获取心理平等感觉的一种媒介，对于其主动融入城市生活以及减小受排斥的预期有着十分重要的意义。
