别开蹊径谈“方法”——读金立鑫的《语言研究方法导论》

Opening a Novel Way to Interpret Research Methods——A Comment on An Introduction to Research Methods in Linguistics Written by Jin Li-xin

金立鑫先生撰写的《语言研究方法导论》是专门讨论语言研究方法的一部力作,特色鲜明,新意迭出,剖析更是别开蹊径。主要有以下三个特征:以"研究方法"统摄语言理论,高屋建瓴,以纲统目;对理论进行统合,渗透着作者的态度和评价,述论结合,寓论于述;阐述研究方法时,既能把握它们之间的联系,又能结合具体的语言学实例进行分析,知行互证,深入浅出。

An Introduction to Research Methods in Linguistics,written by Jin Lixin,is an excellent book to introduce the linguistic research methods,which is characteristic and original.His analysis opens a novel way to interpret research methods.Linguistic theories are governed by research methods,so the linking between various linguistics theories and methods appears vitally important.The author has reconstructed the theories,which embodies his own appraisals,forming a 'narrative but creative'explanatory way.Explaining research methods,the author not only grasps their relations,but also analyses with linguistics examples,adopting a 'macroscopic but specific' explanatory way.
