《释名》与《说文解字》声训之比较

Comparative Research of the Paranomastic Glosses in Shiming and Shuowen Jiezi

一般认为《说文解字》是一部以形求义为体例的书,其实它的声训探源功能也较强,足以和《释名》中的声训相媲美。《说文解字》早于《释名》,这说明《释名》释文体例是对《说文解字》及早期声训的借鉴和发展。正确解读这些声训,比较两书的异同,能够更好地理解声训对语言的探源关系。

It is generally believed that Shuowen Jiezi is the book with the style of obtaining tlae meanings of words through their forms. However, in fact, the paranomastie glosses of Shuowen diezi is considerable enough to rival with those in Shiming. Shuowen Jiezi is earlier than Shiming, which suggests the annotation style, the major achievement in Shiming is the inheritance and development of the Paranomastic Glosses of Shuowen Jiezi. The correct inter- pretation of these paranomastic glosses and the comparison of the similarities and differences between Shiming and Shuowenjiezi can help better understand the relationship between the paranomastic glosses and the exploration into the language source.
