语文课程基本特点的符号学研究——兼对工具性和人文性论争的回应

A Semiotic Study on the Basic Characteristics of Chinese Curriculum——Response to the Instrumental Nature versus Humanistic Nature Debate

义务教育阶段语文课程的基本特点至今仍然处于争论之中,争论的焦点集中在“工具性与人文性的统一”这一表述上,就事论事的争论并没有从根本上厘清语文课程的基本特点。而借助于符号学,可以在与拼音语言符号的比较中,理解汉语语言符号的“表意性”,最终为义务教育阶段语文课程的属性找准定位,作出判断。

The basic characteristics of Chinese curriculum in compulsory education stage are still under debate.The focus of the debate is on the expression of“the unification of instrumental and humanistic nature”.The argument has not clarified the basic characteristics of Chinese curriculum fundamentally.With the help of semiotics,we can understand the“ideograms”of Chinese language symbols in the comparison with pinyin language symbols,and finally locate and judge the attributes of Chinese curriculum in compulsory education.
