摘要
20世纪初,瑞士符号学家索绪尔提出了一个二元符号模式,在学界内外都产生了重大影响。然而,符号的能指与所指之关系并非他所想象的那样一蹴而就、单独对应,这就要求我们对索绪尔的符号模式进行再思考。几乎在同一时间,美国符号学家皮尔斯提出了著名的符号三分法,为后人梳理各类符号现象打下良好的理论基础。可惜皮尔斯未能清楚地阐释不同符号之间的相互转换,导致现今符号分类工作中的种种混乱。倘若在皮尔斯理论的基础上对符号的发生和演变给予足够重视,我们就可以建立一个能够更好解释各类符号现象的动态模式。
At the beginning of the 20 th century,Ferdinand de Saussure proposed a dyadic model of the sign that has since been very popular in and outside the academic ivory tower.Concrete sign processes,however,do not always validate the simple and fixed one-to-one relationship between the signifier and the signified as conceived by the Swiss semiotician,hence a need for improvement of his model.Almost at the same time,Charles Sanders Peirce put forward his famous trichotomy of signs which has been widely applied in subsequent efforts of sign classification.What the American semiotician did not make clear is the relationship of transformation that exists between the three categories of signs.If that aspect of semiosis receives its due attention,Peirce’s theory could then make a significant contribution to the construction of a dynamic model of the sign which better explains sign phenomena of all kinds in real life.
