摘要
雄霸中西方语言学界两千多年的传统观点认为,人类语言的音与义之间只存在着偶然性,不存在着必然性。与此观点相反,本文提出人类语言音义同构现象论,认为音义同构现象不仅必然地而且客观地程度不同地存在于人类语言中。文章特别提出汉语音义阴阳同构律:大量汉语字词的发音与其所代表的含义具有某种心理一生理一物理方式的契合。根据音义同构原理,人类文化之所以演变成今天这个样子,其存在模式的胚胎已经在一定的程度上潜藏于人类最初发出的最简单的发音单位,尤其是元音音素中。
or more than two thousand years,nearly all of the linguists,both Western and Eastern,have firmly believed that there exists nothing but arbitrariness in the relationship between soundand meaning of human utterances. Contrary to the above traditional belief,this paper advancesthe theory that patterns of linguistic sounds and meanings are,in one way or another,structurally identical,to a certain degree,and that the existence of that sort of identicalnessbetween sound and meaning of human languages is not only an objective phenomenon but also anatural necessity. The paper claims to have discovered a Yin Yang law of structuralidenticaliness between sounds and meanings,especially governing the Chinese language,Thepaper tries to prove that the sound and meaning affinity typical of a lot of Chinese charactersis psychological,physiological,as well as physical.According to the theory ,the embryonicpattern of hurnan culture development,above all,that of Chinese culture evolution,can be foundpotentially existing even in the simplest sound units,especially vowel sounds,that ancientsuttered in primal times.
