符号的本质(上)

Essence of Signs (1)

索绪尔的符号观是一个高度抽象的自足系统。该系统是对现实物质世界的描摹和投射。能指与所指的关系是任意的、差异的 ,这种关系的本质决定了它们指向的同时又相互消解 ;既相对稳定 ,又不断变化甚至转换。其价值来源于系统中对所有其他符号关系的否定。

Saussure's semiotics is a highly abstract self-sufficient system which is a description and radiation of the real substance world. The relationship between the signified and signifier is at random and in differentia as well. Such relation leads to the uncertainty relative stabilization and constant transformation of what the two concepts stand for. The negativity of other symbol relations in the system is rightly the valuable point.
