“字本位”理论与汉语的能指投射原则

Character-centre Theory and Projection Rules of Signifier in Chinese

字本位理论的主要含义是 :具有意指性 (非线性 )单位性质的字 ,处于汉语语法结构的核心地位 ,以此为基础形成了独具特色的汉语语义语法。本文在“字本位”的基础上提出了能指投射原则 :在非线性意指关系的两个相关单位如能指与所指、形式与内容中 ,能指、形式的结构性质决定了所指、内容的结构性质 ,所指结构是能指结构的投射。汉语的能指投射原则是汉语的一个重要的区别性特征 ,这里展现了一个非常广阔的研究领域。

The significance of the theory of Character centre implies that Character with its significant unit as non linear element centres itself amongst the clusters of Chinese grammarical structure, which underlies the unique implementation of Chinese semantic grammar. This paper formulates the projection rules based upon the theory of Character centre. Morever, the theory distinguishes the relevant meaning pairs within non linear significant unit of signifier and signified, or structure and content. The study also points out that the signifying structure decides the nature of the signified content, and if put in short,the signified is the projection of the signifier. The signifying projection rule is one of the distinguishing features of Chinese, which indicates a vast field of linguistic study.
