“语言创新”破解日语透支现象——基于洪堡特语言创造性理论的分析

"Language Openness" Makes up Japanese Language Vacancy——A Study Based on Humboldt’s Theory of Language Openness

语言的创造性来源于洪堡特对语言本质的思考。洪堡特注意到语言的活动性和创造性特征,坚持用发生、生成和变化的观点去看待语言,认为语言存在的价值在于使用者的创造性。日语的发展遵循创造性思维规律,广泛吸收多元化语言资源,有效补偿语言透支的缺憾,以期实现语言自身的丰富与发展。

The concept of language openness originated in Humboldt’s theory concerning the essence of language. Humboldt pointed out the arbitrariness and creativity as to the characters of language and insisted that the essence of language should be understood in terms of a process of occurring, generating and evolving. His belief was that the value of language lies in the creative use of language. In accordance with Humboldt’s idea, the Japanese language absorbs extensive and diversified languages’ resources with open mind in order to compensate for the vacancy within the Japanese language and make use of these resources to finally promote the diversity and sound development of its language.
