极小主义视域下的真谓词

The Truth Predicates from the View of Minimalism

在极小主义理论中,在探讨“真”时,一般分析的是作为谓词的“真的”。本文从语义、语用等方面分析霍维奇极小主义理论关于真谓词的基本观点。作为一个特殊的语义谓词,“真的”不但表达出某些表达式与相应表达对象之间的关系,而且表达了某些表达式的性质。“真的”所表达的是一种特殊的逻辑性质,具有特殊的逻辑推理功能。语用方面,“真的”的意义取决于其在相关等值模式中的具体使用。总的说来,在霍维奇理论中,理解“真”等同于理解“真的”的意义,也就是理解等值模式的使用。

In the theory of minimalism,when discussing"truth",the general analysis is the predicate“true”.From the Semantic and Pragmatics,this paper analyses the basic theo-ries of truth predicate in the Horwich's minimalism theory."True"is a special semantic predicate,which can not only express the relationship between certain expressions and the objects of expressions,but also express the properties of certain expressions."True"expresses a special logical property and has a special logical reasoning function.Prag-matically,the meaning of“true”is limited by its specific use in the equivalence schema.In general,in the Horwich's minimalism theory,understanding“truth”is actually know-ing the meaning of"true",that is to understand the use of equivalence schema.
