语法规则的任意性与实践的优先性——论维特根斯坦的语言观

The Arbitrariness of Grammar and the Priority of Practice:From the Perspective of Wittgenstein's Theory

维特根斯坦后期哲学中关于语法规则任意性的观点是与实践优先性的主张联系在一起的。语言作为生活形式参与实践,在实践中确定自身形态,并随着实践发生变化。研究语言的唯一正确的方法就是放弃一切假设的理论,考察它实际的使用情况。这恰恰代表着当代哲学的基本思路。

The arbitrariness of grammar in Wittgenstein's later philosophy relates with the priority of practice.As a life-form,language participates in practice,determines and changes its own forms with practice.Correct method to study language is to abandon any assumed theory,but to examine its actual use.This represents the basic way of thought of the contemporary philosophy.
