摘要
语言不但是人类最重要的交际工具 ,而且是一座人类积累了数万年的认知成果宝库。这个宝库以符号编码的形式构成一个介于人和客观世界之间的虚拟世界 ,人类的一切活动都在其中映现出来。它的构成以人类对客观世界的认识为基础 ,受到人类的认知水平的制约 ,同时也具有一定的自足性。因此 ,语言既可以忠实地反映世界 ,也可以因自身的结构特点而具有创造性 ,甚至欺骗性。
Language is not only the most important communication tool for human beings but also the cognitive achievements repository, which is constructed with the coded symbols and made into a virtual world standing between humans and objective world to reflect all the human activities. Based on the knowledge about the world and subjected to the conditioning of the human cognitive level, the virtual world is to a certain degree self contained. Consequently, language can faithfully represents the world, but at the same time, is equipped with creativity and even fraudulence due to its structural features.
