科学语言规范及其基本特征

Discussion on Criterion and Basic Features of Scientific Language

科学语言的语义分析是一个有价值的科研课题 ,也是科学技术哲学与语义学的交叉领域。自然科学语言作为一种只有四百余年历史的新语言 ,具有变化快、逻辑性强、人工雕琢痕迹明显等基本特征。如概念的形式、理论体系的建立都不同和超越于日常生活语言的系统和功能 ,这使科学理论以严密的逻辑体系而出现 ,从而具有解释功能和预见功能。

Semantic analysis on the scientific language is a valuable subject for research work. It is also an interdisciplinary field between philosophy of science and semantics. The language of natural science is a new language with a history of about 400 years only. Rapid changing, sound logic and obvious artificial traces are its basic features. The establishment in its form of concept and theoretical system is different or beyond the system and function of natural languages. Thus, there is appearance of strict logical system of scientific theories, with the function of explanation and prediction.
