洛克的语词应用与规范探析

洛克主张语词的意义是其标示的观念,观念性意义妨碍了语言的交流。语词的应用中,观念的内在性导致了语词的固有缺陷,观念的复杂性滋长了人们对语词的滥用。语词的规范中,洛克用分析的方式减弱了观念的复杂性,设定普遍用法标尺削弱了观念的内在性,赋予了语词公共的意义。

Locke advocates that the meaning of a word is the idea of its sign.The meaning of idea hinders language communication.In the application of words,the inherent ideas leads to the internal imperfections of words,and the complexity of ideas lead to the abuse of words.In the norms of words,Locke weakened the complexity of ideas by means of analysis,set common usage ruler to reduce the notion of internalization,gave the public’s sense of words.
