语言和社会本体论

Language and Social Ontology

通过对言语行为的探讨,有可能解释人类实在和非人类的物理实在之间是如何协调一致的。在分析社会的制度性实在时,我们需要四个概念,即集体意向性、功能的施加、身份功能和建构性规则。使用建构性规则创造身份功能的模式非常类似于第五类言语行为,即宣告。正是这种宣告式的言语行为生成并维持身份功能,继而建立起人类所有的制度性实在。此外,身份功能产生"道义权力",正是这种权力才使人类社会统合在一起。

In order to interpret the social and institutional reality we need four concepts:collective intentionality,the imposition of function,Status Functions,and Constitutive Rules.And the mode of using Constitutive Rules to create Status Functions is extremely similar to that of the fifth type of Speech Act,i.e.the Declarations.It is the Declaration of Speech Act that produces and maintains the Status Functions,then builds up all of human institutional reality.Moreover,the 'deontic power' is created by the Status Functions;it is deontic power that holds human societies together.
