从汉语词语的创造探寻中国语言哲学思想之源——中国语言哲学思想起源初探之一

Exploring the Origin of Thoughts of Chinese Linguistic Philosophy from the Creation of Chinese Words——On the Origin of Thoughts of Chinese Linguistic Philosophy(Part Ⅰ)

语言哲学乃是从语言入手以探究语言、世界和人三者互动关系从而更好地认识并开拓人的生存空间的科学。而语言特别是其词语的创造,则最能表现出特定语言哲学思想的内涵与起源。这主要是因为,词是通过表达概念而指称事物的,词义是民族人对于生存空间中事事物物的概括反映,从而表现了民族人对于特定事物的指谓、解释与互动关系。从古代汉语词语创造的典型出发,联系相应的文化背景,或可探寻中国语言哲学思想起源的多方迹象。

Linguistic philosophy is a science that explores the interaction among language,the world and human beings from the perspective of language so as to better understand and open up the living space of human beings.Language,especially the creation of its words,can best show the connotation and origin of thoughts of a particular linguistic philosophy.This is mainly because words refer to things by expressing concepts,and the meaning of words is the general reflection of things in the living space of the people of the nation,thus showing the people’s reference and interpretation of and interaction with specific things.This paper attempts to explore the multiple signs of the origin thoughts of Chinese linguistic philosophy through step by step analysis,starting from the typical creation of ancient Chinese words and linking with the corresponding cultural background.
