论自然语言在语言哲学中的元语言地位

On the Metalinguistic Position of Natural Languages in Language Philosophy

自然语言的精确性和完善性问题不是语言哲学中元语言的根本问题。元语言的根本问题是表达和解释的初始性,自然语言是最初始的元语言。自然语言自身解释存在内部循环,所以需要确定核心语符和核心规则。核心语符和核心规则是通过对部分言语片段的平行周遍对比获得的,是不可解释和定义的。怎样确定核心语符和核心规则需要作深入研究。

Accuracy and perfection of natural languages is not an essential task of metalanguage in language philosophy. On the contrary, the essential task of metalanguage is to explore the originality of expression and explanation, and the natural language is the original metalanguage. The natural language has interiorlycirculating self-explanation, which calls for an established system of common symbols and rules. And this system of common symbols and rules is obtained by parallelly and universally comparing some bits and pieces of speech, thus non-explanable and non-definable. So a deeper and further study is to be done to establish the system of common symbols and rules.
