符号学理论视野下现代中医话语的融通性

Fusion feature of modern TCM discourse in the perspective of semiotics theory

作为西方文化哲学的一种理论,符号学认为,语言与科学同为人类精神活动的产物,与科学语言并列的是诗意想象的语言。现代中医话语既属于科学语言,也具有显著的诗意与人文属性。中医话语的模糊性、相对性与中医思维的逻辑性、系统观密不可分,又以其形象性和隐喻性特征而明显有别于词语思维和逻辑思维。超越科学与人文,采取一种融通的视角,可获得对现代中医话语特性的辩证认识,也是其规范化、标准化的认知前提。

As a theory of cultural philosophy in western academia, semiotics holds that language and science are the product of human spiritual activity, and the language of poetic imagination is parallel to scientific language. Modern TCM discourse not only belongs to scientific language, but also has obvious poetic and cultural attributes. The ambiguity and relativity of TCM discourse are inseparable from logicality and systematicness of TCM thinking. And TCM discourse is obviously different from the thinking way of term and logic by its characteristics of imagery and metaphor. By transcending science and culture, and taking a fusion perspective, a dialectical understanding would be accessed about the characteristics of TCM discourse, which are cognitive premise of the standardization of modern TCM discourse.
