Abstract: It has been a consensus among the academic circle and social public that language is a kind of resource. The influence of the view on language as a resource is spreading far and wide. Yet，the understanding of language resources and the question as to what kind of view on language resources to build up still remain for further research，and the problem of how to manage language resources needs theoretical construction. The diversity of linguistic resources is reflected in their existential state，value，and developmental diversity. Views on linguistic resources mainly include the value view，the transformation view，the dialectical view，and the match view. The management of linguistic resources shall follow five principles：first，the basic requirement is to prevent linguistic resources from transforming into linguistic problems. Second，be demand-oriented. Third，take linguistic human resources as the focus. Fourth，the key is to establish a linguistic resource configuration model that clearly differentiates the responsibility，rights，and benefit. And finally，the core is to serve the strategy of the country，region，and organization.

Key words: language resources, view of language resources, management of language resources, management of language
