艺术语言的意象思维

Imagist thinking expressed in artistic language

艺术语言是一种有意味的形式。艺术语言在语言编码中所采用的语法手段一旦不能尽其意,便借助于意象思维这一特殊的艺术思维方式,冲破语言符号在表情上的局限性,达到“立象以尽意”,使普通的语言符号上升为艺术语言符号。“立象以尽意”中的“象”是艺术语言的符号媒介,是主体情意的寄托载体,是沟通物象世界与内心世界的桥梁。

Artistic language is a form of language which carries special meanings. It can express the special emotions in an imagist way as long as the grammatical devices cant fulfil the goal. In doing this, it turns the common linguistic signs into symbolic signs with artistic taste. Image'is the instrument of artistic language; the carrier of emotive meanings of the subjects; and the bridge of linking the natural world and inner world of human beings.
