利科语言哲学观特征论析

An overview of Ricoeur's philosophy of language

利科的语言哲学观可以从三个方面的特征来描述。首先,利科的语言哲学观和利科的行动哲学观有极为密切的理论联系,因此,我们需要在行动和语言的关系中把握利科的语言观;其次,利科的语言哲学观具有一种鲜明的层次性,即作为语言自身形式特征的符号层,作为行动的例示和刻画模型的话语和文本层,以及作为对行动的模仿的叙述层;最后,利科的语言哲学观分别吸收了欧洲大陆语言哲学和英美分析哲学的一些观点,具有一种典型的中介性。

Ricoeur＇ s views of language could be understood by three characteristics. First, Ricoeur＇ s views of language relat- ed to his views of action. Second, by ricoeur＇ s point, there is distinctive hierarchy of language levels： semantics, discourse, text, narrative. Third, Ricoeur＇ s language theory absorbed some points of continental philosophy and analytical philosophy, and interme- diated between them.
