摘要
相关语境是否决定语义的正确解读一直是语言学界思考的问题。由Borg等提出的“语义最小论”旨在说明在不受语境影响的情况下,一个句子已经具有其最小语义内容。“语义最小论”的提出挑战了“语境决定论”的主体地位,也进一步表明了句子与其语义之间存在着内在的关系。“语义最小论”通过回答对“语境论”者的质疑,进一步突出了命题主义地位,也拓宽了语义学研究的范围。通过对“语义最小论”的研究,可以理清近现代语义研究发展的脉络,探索出语境在语义解读中扮演的角色,更好地回答如何确定语义的问题。
Whether the relevant context determines the correct interpretation of meaning has always been a central topic in the field of linguistics.The"Minimal Semantics"proposed by Borg and other scholars aims to show that a sentence has its minimum semantic content without the consideration of context,and the minimal meaning is triggered by its syntactic structure.The proposition of"Minimal Semantics"challenges the dominant position of"Context-determinism",and further shows that there is an inherent relationship between sentences and their corresponding meanings."Minimal Semantics"further highlights the position of propositionism and broadens the scope of semantic researches by answering the questions of"Contextualism".Through the comprehensive study of"Minimal Semantics",the development of modern semantic researches can be clarified,the role of context in semantic interpretation can be explored,and better answer to the determination of semantic meanings can be figured out.
