摘要
“文”的概念是中国、以及(近现代以前)汉字圈传统的思想、文学乃至政治中的最重要概念之一,而“修辞”概念亦属此谱系。这一事实百年来却渐渐为大家所淡忘。本文将从语言思想角度,梳理“修辞”概念之现代嬗变,进而探讨与“文”概念的关联。现代意义上的修辞学是东亚西化现代性的产物,它始于明治日本,后传入、确立于民国初期的中国,是五四新文化运动的结果之一。本文也将梳理这一由日本至中国的过程,然而将侧重于语言思想之现代嬗变问题,以及理论上由此引发的问题,如修辞与现代意义上的语法学之间不可调和之理论问题,也将检讨语法中心化现象与科学主义的关联。总之,语言传递方式与现代性之间的关联如何深刻地影响现代意义上修辞学的确立,乃是本文的核心主题。
“Wen”(文)was one the most important theoretical concepts within the literary and even political traditions of the East Asian Sinitic sphere before the modern era.Another term,“xiuci”(修辞),now translated as“rhetoric,”was also a key concept under“wen”.However,one of the outcomes of East Asian modernity is that these historical facts have fallen into oblivion.The author carefully tracks changes in linguistic thought in modern China and attempts to shed light on their linkage with the emergence of rhetoric as a modern discipline in China under the strong influence of the Western rhetoric via Meiji Japan.The author argues that the emergence of rhetoric as an imported discipline rests on both the May-Fourth generation’s belief in an ideology of scientism and their loyal acceptance of metaphysical views on language.
