20世纪以来人类有关语言本质问题的探索历程

Process of Exploring the Essence of Language since the Twentieth Century

20世纪以来,人类有关语言本质问题的认识在原有的基础上继续得以向前发展的同时,也不乏一些新的思想灵光的闪现。一方面,传统的语言工具论、语言符号论之语言本质观在一定程度上得到进一步的阐发与张扬,另一方面,以语言天赋论、语言行为论、语言过程论、语言本体论等为代表的新的语言本质观激荡涌生,开启了人类有关语言本质问题认识的新的路向。

Since the 20th century,while people＇s understanding on the essence of language advances on the traditional basis,there is not lack of bright ideas.On one hand,conceptions of language essence of traditional linguistic organon and linguistic semiotics have been explained and publicized to some degree.On the other hand,new outlooks on language essence represented by innateness hypothesis,view of language as a behavior,view of language as a process and linguistic ontology emerge continuously,establishing a new orientation for the study on language essence.
