语言的意义在于使用——维特根斯坦语言观探析

The Significance of Language Lies in Using——A Study of Wittgenstein's View on Language

将语言比作金钱,是后期维特根斯坦的一个重要观点,旨在表明语言的意义如金钱一样在于使用而非指称某物。这样一种对于语言的理解,认为人工语言有其自身的限度,而无法全面取代日常语言。金钱的意义在于它在市场中的自由流通和使用,哈耶克的这一思想,与后期维特根斯坦关于语言的思想,有着内在的相通之处。

Comparing language to money is an important view of Wittgenstein in the late period,which aims to show that the meaning of language,like money,lies in using rather than referring to something.Such an understanding of language suggests that artificial language has its limits and cannot replace ordinary language altogether.The meaning,of money lies in its free circulation and.usage in the market.Hayek's thought has an internal connection with the later Wittgenstein's thoughts about language.
