现代西方语言哲学的百年演化与新走向——从现代性向后现代性的语言哲学转向

A Century's Evolution of Modern Western Philosophy of Language and Its New Trend:The Turn from the Conception of Modern Philosophy of Language to the Conception of Postmodern Philosophy of Language

现代西方语言哲学思潮是20世纪以来自然科学革命和反形而上学的产物。现代语言哲学强调哲学研究要以科学研究为范式,运用科学方法论,重视语言意义的分析,追求语言的逻辑性,祛除语言的模糊性,澄清语言的意义性,反对抽象思辨的形而上学和宏大叙事研究。从现代语言哲学观向后现代语言哲学观的转向,昭示了当代西方语言哲学思潮的新走向。后现代语言哲学继承了现代语言哲学反形而上学的传统,凸显否定性、启迪性和建设性等特征,其中建设性"后学"理论表现出与当今生态思潮殊途同归的趋势,促进了生态语言学和生态思想在全球的传播。

The trend of thought in western philosophy of language is the product of both natural science revolution and anti-metaphysics since the beginning of 20th century.Not only does modern philosophy of language emphasize that philosophical research should take scientific research as the paradigm,but also it applies scientific methodology,attaches importance to analyse the meaning of language,pursues the logic of language,clarifies the fuzziness and meaningfulness of language,and opposes abstract speculative metaphysics and even grand narrative research.The turn from the conception of modern philosophy of language to the conception of postmodern philosophy of language proclaims a new direction of contemporary western philosophy of language.Having inherited the anti-metaphysics tradition of modern philosophy of language,postmodern philosophy of language highlights the features of negativity,edification and constructiveness.In particular,the constructive Posties theory and the current ecological trend of thought reach the same goals by different means to promote the global spread of ecological linguistics and ecological thought.
