论隐语与相关术语的关系与区分

On Relationship and Differentiation between Argot and Other Terms Related to It

隐语与黑话、暗语、秘密语(秘语)、行话、禁忌语、委婉语等若干词汇变异现象之间具有何种关系,该如何区分,目前仍是学界研究的一个死角。抓住各种语言现象的本质特征,是说明它们之间的关系以及对它们进行区分的根本。隐语与黑话、暗语、行话、秘密语(秘语)等术语为异名同实关系,从广义的角度而言,它们是相同的语言变异现象,从狭义的角度而言,它们是相同的词汇变异现象。使用时不能因术语称谓不同而把它们视为不同的社会方言词汇变异现象。隐语与禁忌、委婉语为异名异实关系,二者是不同的词汇变异现象,使用时不能把前者混同于后者,也不能把后者混同于前者。

At present, it is still a blind side in academic researches of how to define the relationship between argot and other lexical deviations as cant, code word, secret speech, jargon, linguistic taboo, euphemism, etc. , and how to differentiate one from the other. In doing this, what is most fundamental is to grasp the es-sential characteristics of various linguistic phenomena. That is, argot, cant, code word, secret speech, jar-cial dialects. However,as to argot, linguistic taboo and euphemism, they are of the relationship of different appellations with different essence. In other words, they are different lexical deviations. It is therefore wrong to confuse the former with the latter, or the latter with the former.
