“六书”的生成及与《说文解字》关系探讨

The Generation of Liushu and Its Relation to shuowenjiezi

"六书"自从其诞生起,一直都是中国古代小学以及语言文字学的重要研究内容。但是生成时的一些限制因素以及历史研究的繁冗积淀,"六书"已经难以作为一种理论体系发挥其研究的作用。本文试借鉴西方认知学理论,结合"六书"生成的宏观思维背景去考察、界定"六书"的性质,把"六书"看作是在文字整理的现实基础上,从"典型"现象上升到认知范畴的"范畴化"的结果;此外,本文还在确认"六书"非《说文解字》析字方法的前提下,进一步探讨"六书"与《说文解字》的关系。

Since its generation,liushu has always been the focus of study in the ancient Xiaoxue and modern philology.However,as time goes on,it's now difficult for the scholars to apply it as an academic system to scientific research.This paper puts liushu in the western cognitive perspective to penetrate its generation and nature,regarding it as a result of categorization on the basis of sorting out the characters in Zhou Dynasty.Also,the author discusses in the paper the relations between liushu and shuowenjiezi,confirming the prerequisite that liushu is not the method of analyzing characters in shuowen.
