维索尔伦顺应论的语言哲学观

Philosophical Views of Language in Verschueren's Adaptation Theory

对语言本质的不同理解,尤其是对语言的不同使用,往往反映出不同的哲学立场。维索尔伦(Vers-chueren)把语言当作人类社会生活中的一种重要活动,并从这一动态视角去观察分析语言,以语言选择和语言顺应为中心构建语用学的整个框架,进而探讨了语言、人类和现实之间的相互顺应关系,其中包含了维氏对意义、语境、心智等概念的哲学理解,因而其语用顺应论从跨学科的角度开辟了研究语言意义奥秘的新思路。

Different understandings of the essence of language and diverse usages of language always reflect different philosophical stands. Verschueren regards language as an inseparable part of social life, which encourages him to explore the dynamic adaptation among humans, language and reality. Centered on language choice and language adaptation, his theory encompasses his philosophical ideas about meaning, context and mind. Thus muhi-disciplinarily, Verschueren＇s adaptation theory opens up new avenues to study further the mysterious nature of meaning in lananage.
