论主体性与符号表意的关联

On the Relationship between Subjectivity and Semiotic Signification

追逐意义,是人的本质属性;使用符号释意与达意,则是其根本的方式;人的符号属性决定了自我即为一个符号。而语言范式中的主体,正是指这样一种通过示意而形成并确立的符号化过程。换言之,主体是一种指涉自我,从而向他者辐射,并由此通达意义世界的话语能力。主体性即指示意者将自我定位为主体的能力,只出现于叙述话语的根本属性之中。从语言范式中的主体定义出发,对符号学思想史上的相关讨论作一梳理,并借此进一步探讨,作为符号的主体如何卷入叙述表意,有助于对符号、主体与意义之间的关联作一解读。

To be human is to be in pursuit of meaning by way of signs. This well explains the point thatthe self is a sign. Subject in linguistic paradigm refers to such a semiosis in which the subject is determinedthrough signification. Subjectitvity, therefore, indicates that the one＇s capacity to posit the self as a subject.Thhis paper, based on the difinition of subject as understood in the lingnisitics＇ sense, tries to trace back theintellectual debates over sign, subject and meaning, then further explore the way the subject as a sign getsinvolved in signification; and thereby approach the relationship between sign, subject and meaning.
