“西方语言哲学”与博士研究生理论创新能力的培养

"Western Philosophy of Language" and the Development of PhD Students’ Theoretical Originality

通过"西方语言哲学"课程的开设培养博士研究生理论创新能力需要摆正三种关系:知识与智慧,"照着讲"与"接着讲",语言哲学与语言学。课程教学涉及知识的传授,但其真正目标是培养学员的理性智慧;课程强调"照着讲"旨在了解西方语言哲学,而"接着讲"才是课程的真正目的;学习西方语言哲学是为了更好地把握、认识当代语言学发展脉络,从而更好地进行创新型语言学研究。

In teaching ＂Western Philosophy of Language＂ to Chinese PhD students of linguistics, we have attempted to balance knowledge against wisdom, ＂teaching what has been said＂ against ＂teaching what has not been said＂, and philosophy of language against linguistics. In this foundation course, the teaching of knowledge is aimed to develop students＇ rationalized philosophical wisdom, the teaching of ＂what has been said＂ in Western philosophy of language is purported to help students go beyond this and become aware of ＂what has not been said＂, and the teaching of philosophy of language itself is to help students have a better command of linguistics. All of these attempts aim to develop students＇ theoretical originality in their linguistic studies.
