纯粹汉字图象批判——汉字可以成为“逻各斯中心”吗?

Critique of Pure Hanzi Images——Can Hanzi Be Logocentric?

汉字图象是一种具有超验性的纯粹图象。图象先于意识,这是汉字图象的超验性;汉字图象的“纯粹”在于形成“图象”的“文”,是“依类象形”的感性直观、是“物象之本”的抽象。汉字图象是“前语言”的“语象”,所以具有超语言性。汉字不仅在汉语中具有超越方言的图象性,更在汉字文化圈的不同语言中使用,比如在日语中使用了大量的汉字。这种汉字图象的超语言性,使得汉字图象可以成为一种普遍文字。汉字图象既可为逻辑图象,又可为美学图象,在语言游戏和文字生活中起到重要作用。因而,汉字在中国文化中具有逻各斯中心地位。但是,由于汉字的超语言性,又具有解构语音中心主义和逻各斯中心主义的作用。

Hanzi images are pure images with transcendental characteristics. Images go before ideas, which decides the transcendentalism of Hanzi images;the purity of Hanzi images comes from the act of writing that results in images, which is a perceptual intuition of “concluding and imitating” as well as an abstraction of the “prototypes of objects”. Hanzi images, being pre-language lingual icons, are superlingual. In Chinese language, Hanzi shows iconic characteristics that surpass dialects, while in Chinese cultural circles, Hanzi is adopted by different languages, among which Chinese characters in Japanese especially prove the superlingualism of Hanzi as images. Hanzi images, thus, can be regarded as a universal language. Hanzi, both as images of logic and images of aesthetics, plays an important part in word games and literal lives. As a result, Hanzi is logocentric in Chinese culture. Because of its superlingual characteristic, however, Hanzi is also endowed with deconstructive phonocentric and logocentric functions.
