摘要
自然语言歧义所产生的哲学问题在语言哲学史上占据着重要位置。罗素的摹状词理论中包含着一种基于经典逻辑的语言辖域装置,它解决了"排中律失效"问题。作为一种基于量化模态逻辑的新型语言辖域装置,谓词抽象可以解决包括奎因的"指称晦暗语境"以及"信念之谜"在内的模态逻辑语境下的语言歧义问题。在问题的适用域上,谓词抽象优越于罗素的辖域装置。谓词抽象还有着广阔的哲学应用前景和进一步的研究价值。
The philosophical puzzles resulted from the linguistic ambiguity of scope play an important role in the his- tic mechanism of scope based on classical logic in Russell' s theory of description, which solves the puzzle of "law of excluded middle". As a new linguistic mechanism of scope based on the quantified modal logic,the predicate abstraction can be used to solve Quine' s puzzle of referentially opaque context and the Belief Puzzle. As for the range of applicable questions,the predicate abstraction is larger than Rus- sell' s mechanism of scope. The predicate abstraction has a bright prospect in philosophy.
