中华元典关键词的原创意蕴与现代价值——基于词根性、坐标性和转义性的语义考察

Original Implication and Modern Value of Keywords of Chinese Canons: Semantic Investigation Based on Quality of Etyma,Evolution and Conversion of Meaning

中华元典关键词以"词根"的方式沉潜,以"坐标"的方式呈现,以"转义"的方式再生,既是轴心期华夏文明生生不息的语义根源,亦为中外文化和而不同的话语前提。因而,欲楬橥元典关键词的原创意蕴及现代价值,须从词根性、坐标性和转义性之考察开始。元典关键词之语义考察,一是以五经以及儒墨道法兵诸家文化元典为文本依据,诠释中华元典关键词的词根性(关键词的文化源起与辞源学释义);二是以历史时空为经纬,厘定中华元典关键词的坐标性(关键词如何标识不同时代的文化观念,如何贯通不同时代的文化命脉);三是以世界为视域,诠解中华元典关键词的转义性(关键词的赓续、新创以及语义再生等)。这种"原生—沿生—再生"的语义考察,可为推进中华元典研究提供新的观念、方法和入思路径。

Keywords of Chinese canons are the continuous source of semantics in Axial Period as well as the premise of harmonious- if- different text in Chinese- western communication. They hide in the form of 'etyma',present in the style of'coordinate'and regenerate in manner of'transferred meaning'. As a result,to reveal their original implication and modern value,one way is to interpret the root words based on Five Classics and the Philosophers; the second is to define the time- space coordinate of these keywords; the third is to interpret the transferred meaning of keywords from a word- wide perspective. The semantic investigation of origin- derivation- regeneration can provide new concepts,methods and routes for the analysis of keywords of Chinese canons.
