符号结构与语法

The Structure of Symbol and the Grammar

符号是解释者用物质载体表示所指对象形成的结构。解释者一方是符号的语用维度,所指对象一方是符号的语义维度;二者合称意义。符号在言语表达中组合。语法问题须从符号结构要素之间的关联把握。所指对象相互关联形成事件结构,解释者相互关联形成指示结构。事件结构只是一种抽象的语义内容,指示结构只是一种空的指向性,前者定位于后者而形成具体语法结构。

A symbol consists of the representing of designatum by the interpreter with material vehicle. The interpreter is the symbol's pragmatic dimension, while the designatum its semantic dimension, and, as a whole, the two dimensions play together as the 'meaning' of the symbol. It is in the speech acts that symbols are assembled with each other,and it is only from the relevant relations among the elements of a symbol that we could deal with grammar. Conjunction of designata with each other produces the event structure, and conjunction of interpreters produces the deictic structure. The event structure is only an abstract semantic content, and the deictic structure is only an inane index, therefore, the former must be anchored in the latter to shape a grammatical structure.
