摘要
基于三元关系(即语言、思维和实在三者的关系)的分析框架,并从科学实在论的立场出发,对各主要的语言学流派的语义观和认识论基础进行了剖析和反思。得出如下结论:思维应分为三个层次:底层是意象思维、中层是自然语言思维、高层是逻辑和数学的思维。各语言学流派的语义观和认识论,都因忽视了心智或实在的因素;或因过度强调心智中的语言思维忽视意象思维,或过度夸大意象思维忽视语言思维,而无法为科学实在论辩护。
By examining their views on meaning and epistemological foundations of the 7 main schools of linguistics within the framework of LTR relation ( i. e. the relationship among language, thought and reality), and by taking the stance of scientific realism, this paper argues that thought or mind is in a sandwich structure with the imagery thinking at the bottom, the logical and mathematical way of thinking on the top and the thinking with natural languages in between. Those linguistic theories and their epistemologies therefore fail to justify the scientific realism just because they either ignore the factors of mind or reality, or overstate the language thinking but neglect the imagery thinking in the mind or the other way round.
