关于现代英美语言哲学的指称论的考察

Exploration of the Reference Theory of Meaning of Modern British and American Philosophy of Language

对现代英美语言哲学家们首先提出并加以说明的意义理论之一的指称论进行了考察 ,认为罗素的指称论不适当地否定了只和一些想象、虚构相联系的语词具有意义 ,弗菜格为了说明“晨星 =暮星” ,提出了表达式的意义和指称相区别的观点 ,这实际上涉及到一个意义的类型问题 ,即共有意义和特有意义。

The paper explores the reference theory of meaning that is firstly put forward and explained by modern British and American philosophers as one of the theories of meaning. The author holds that it is not correct for Russell′s reference theory of meaning to deny expressions connected with imagination and fabrication having meaning. In order to explain that morning star equals evening star, Frege put forward that the referent of expression is different from the meaning of expression. This actually involves the problem of the type of meaning. We can reveal that what is used by the reference theory of meaning is the meaning view of realism.
