文学语言的人文价值本性

The Nature of the Humanist Value in Literary Language

在文学理论界关于文学是人学的命题已多有讨论 ,但是这一讨论基本没有涉及作为文学本体及文学媒介的文学语言。本文认为 ,文学语言的人文价值是“文学是人学”这一命题中的应有之义。文章从剖析“人文”和“价值”这两个词语的本来意义入手 ,具体界定了人文价值的涵义 ,接着论述了逻辑语言在语言发展演变过程中人文价值的失落 ,然后着重指出在文学这个国度里 ,其词语不仅保存着语言的原初创造力 ,而且经历着往返不已的灵魂轮回 ,经历着既是感觉的又是精神的再生 ;语言在文学里复活了它的全部的生命 。

The proposition that literature is a study of humans has been frequently discussed in the field of literary theory,but the discussion has not essentially concerned with the literary language as the literary noumenon and medium.This essay believes that the humanist value of the literary language should be contained in the proposition'Literature is human science'.Beginning with an analysis of the original meaning of 'humanism'and 'value',the essay specifically defines the humanist value,discusses the loss of the humanist value in the course of the linguistic development of logical language,and finally points out that in the literary world words preserve their primitive creative power,undergo spiritual and perceptual mutations and rebirth and totally come back to life and shine brightly with the humanist value.
