学术谱系视域下文本概念的探究

Research on Concept of Text from Perspective ofAcademic Geneology

文本的开放性将意味着意义在语境中生成,同时也意味着文本本身的意义也会因为语境的不同而出现多义和歧义,文本不是毫无学术内涵的物理意义上的所指,它已经被广泛使用于语言学、文学、史学、文化学等领域,它既是一个学术意义上的分析工具、更是一个在交流实践中建构起来的学术概念,因此我们必须认真对待文本在学术经验中的使用情况,在"文本间"(文本域)中寻找"文本"自我安身立命的话语逻辑,从而保证文本作为科学话语自足性的一面得以成立。

Text is no longer regarded as a closed physical referent, instead, it is an open system whose meaning is generated by its context. In addition, varying context would cause varying interpretation of the text. Thus, text has already be constructed as a concept full of so much signifi cance that it has been widely employed as an analytic instrument in such areas as studies of linguistics, literature, history, culture and others. To verify that the text is a self-reliant entity in scientifi c discourses,it is necessary to carefully exam its application in the academic research, and fi nd out the discoursal logic of its independence in the textual domain.
