韩礼德学术思想的中国渊源和回归

A Return to Their Cradle:The Chinese Roots of Halliday's Theories

韩礼德学术思想源自中国。从在中国学习和研究汉语时的老师那里,韩礼德学到了语言研究的基本方法和重要观点,在韩礼德学术思想的论述中,我们可以清晰地看到王力、罗常培、高名凯、陈望道、朱自清等先生的身影。当然,韩礼德并没有止步于继承中国老师的传统,而是把中国的学术传统和西方的语言系统理论相结合,将语言学理论研究和实践推向一个新的平台。韩礼德的学术思想因其植根于中国学术传统,不断创新,适用性强,受到中国学者的重视和欢迎,可谓是诸多因素促成的一次学术思想回归。

Halliday's academic thinking originates from China. He learned from his Chinese professors the basic methodology and insights when studying Chinese in China. The ideas of the Chinese professors such as Wang Li, Luo Changpei, Gao Mingkai, Chen Wangdao and Zhu Ziqing can surface in his works. Of course, Halliday did not stop just inheriting. He integrated the Chinese academic tradition with Western linguistic theories and pushed the studies of languages and their use to a new height. Halliday's theories, with their innovativeness and appliability, are now popular in Chinese academia. This is no less than a meaningful return because Halliday's theories were cradled in China.
