试析莫里斯符号学的意义观

Analysis of Semiotic meanings by Morris

美国行为语义学家莫里斯明确提出了符号学三大分野:语义学(semantics),语构学(syntac-tics)和语用学(pragmatics),还进一步把语言符号的意义分为三大类:所指意义;言内意义;语用意义。这三类符号学意义作为一个整体构成了符号的总体意义。莫里斯这一意义观的研究对符号学和语言学的发展起到了推动作用,对其他相关学科的研究和发展意义则更加深远。

C. W. Morris definitely classified semiotics into three branches： semantics, syntacties and pragmaties, and established the idea of semiotic meaning which combines semantic meaning, syntactic meaning and pragmatic meaning for a whole sign. Morris＇ s research can play an important role in the development of linguistics , semiotics and other related branches.
