语言符号、商品和货币

Linguistic Signs,Goods and Money

语言学和经济学彼此相互联系。两者都面临价值的概念。索绪尔只从系统的视角阐述了语言符号的价值即位值,没有讨论语言符号在交际过程中所体现的效用价值。以商品和货币作参照,讨论了语言符号的一般特征,同时指出其独特性。

Linguistics and economics are interrelated with each other： Both are dealing with the notion of value. Saussure expounds the value of linguistic signs, i. e. their place value from a system point of view, with their utility value in communication ignored. As compared with goods and money, linguistic signs present a number of general and unique features.
