浅析语言拓扑

A Probe into the Linguistic Topology

从拓扑学视角释解语言性质,即探求语言概念的恒常性质。语言是一种拓扑系统,在连续变换中表现出不变拓扑属性。因此,拓扑恒常性的存在前提是语言变换中的连续性,而这种连续性是语言使用在基本层面保持稳定的根本条件。语言的恒常性表现在语言使用的可变过程中。可变是一种普遍现象,而不变仅为可变的一种存在形态。然而语言通过拓扑恒常性保持了继承性和稳定性。恒常性与可变过程二者不可分割,互相依存,共同成为句法等语言形式的构建机制。

To understand the nature of linguistics from the perspective of topology is to find the permanent nature of concepts in linguistics. The language is a topological system that exhibits invariant topological properties in continuous transformations. Therefore, the premise of topological stability is the continuity in linguistic transformations. And this continuity is the fundamental condition for languages to remain stable in general. Linguistic stability is manifested in the variable processes of language use. Variability is a universal phenomenon, and stability is just one of the existing forms of variability. However, a language maintains its inheritance and constancy through topological stability. Both stability and variable processes are inseparable and interdependent. And together they become the constructing mechanism of linguistic forms such as a sentence.
