试谈可比性的形式、实质及其组成部分

On the Form, Essence and the Component Parts of Comparability

可比性是比较文学的根本属性 ,它既是比较文学研究的学理依据 ,也是检验标准。比较文学的可比性包括 :跨越性、交叉性和文学性 (最终体现为比较诗学 )三个方面。跨越性和交叉性从形式上限制了研究的范围 ,而文学性从内容上规范着研究的目的。

Comparability is the basic attribute of comparative literature. It is not only the academic theory for the study of comparative literature but also the basis for evaluation. The comparability of comparative literature consists of three aspects: the nature of surpassing, the nature of overlapping and the nature of literature (ultimately represented as comparative poetics). The surpassing and overlapping properties limit the scope of study concerning the form while the nature of literature regulates in content the purpose of study. The comparable nature dialectically unifies the form and content of the study of comparative literature.
