In the process of rural revitalization, it is worth discussing whether it is necessary to provide language service support for a large number of rural empty nesters and what types of services to provide. But there is little attention to this issue in the existing research. The main issues discussed in this paper include the relationship between rural empty nesters’ language service and rural revitalization, the types and functions of rural empty nesters’ language service. The results show that for the rural empty nest elderly, five types of language services can be provided, including chat, spiritual comfort, information consulting, language technology and language education. Although the content and function of these language services are different, they can alleviate the spiritual loneliness of rural empty nesters from different perspectives and improve their sense of life happiness. Therefore, language services can help the construction of rural civilization and play a role in rural revitalization at the spiritual level.
