论皮尔斯符号学中的“对象”问题

The “Object” and Its Significances in Peircean Semiotics

在现有的讨论中,一般论者主要是站在"解释项"(interpretant)这一第三项来说明皮尔斯符号学体系的开放性与动态性,甚少有专文讨论这一体系的第二项,即"对象"(object)。其实,"对象"作为符号三元体系中不可或缺的一环,同样在保证符号表意过程的开放性、动态性以及多元性上起到了重要作用。本论文试图梳理皮尔斯符号学中的对象理论及其演变,并说明"对象"对皮尔斯符号学理论所带来的主要影响。

Most of recent studies tend to correlate ＂interpretant＂, one of the essential elements in semiosis, with the openness and dynamics of peireean semiotics. It should not be overlooked that the other element, that is ＂object＂, also plays a vital role in maintaining the diversity and vitality of sign actions. This paper attempts to analyze the C.S. Peirce＇s theory of object and its development, followed by its influences to the peircean semiotics.
