语言学视域下的阿是穴释义

Definition of ashipoint from the view of linguistics

阿是穴一词的释义目前尚未统一,对其内涵的准确把握也是针灸理论难点之一。通过梳理《针灸学》统编教材、工具书、术语标准等文献资料中的"阿是穴"定义,筛选其中具有共识、言之合理的要素,结合认知语言学的图形背景理论、距离象似性理论,对"阿是穴"进行重新释义;此外,在理解"以痛为输""天应穴""反应点"等相近术语的基础上,以义素分析法辨析其与阿是穴的异同,并引申出对针灸理论的部分思考。

The definition of ashi point has not been unified yet till now. Likewise, the precise explanation on its connotation has always been an elusive question in acupuncture theory. By collecting diverse definitions on ashi point in the textbooks of Acupuncture and Moxibustisn, dictionaries and term standards, several rational elements in definitions with consensus were screened. With the assistance of two important theories of cognitive linguistics, such as figure-ground theory and distance ieonicity theory, the concept of ashi point was newly defined. Additionally, on the base of the understanding on several similar terms such as ＂taking the painful site as acupoint＂, ＂responding point＂ and ＂reactive point＂, the semanteme analytic method was used to distinguish the difference among them so that the more profound explorations on acupuncture therapy are expounded.
