摘要
计量语言学是语言研究科学化的重要阵地,也是大数据时代下的热点领域。该学科创始人齐普夫的相关理论定律在语言教学与研究中应用广泛且影响深远,但少有学者考析其语言研究科学化的思想渊源,因此导致了语言学思想发展脉络上的断点,也限制了该学科的现实应用及对其未来发展的预估。本文借助一手文献及档案史料,旨在通过对齐普夫计量语言学思想的探源,弥补现有语言学史中有关计量语言学诞生论述的缺失之憾,以期知源明流——从齐普夫有迹可循的学术关系,到其留德时期柏林的学界氛围,揭示其与当时主流语言学发展不可割裂的关联,并从这一渊源出发,浅释计量语言研究不能仅一味追求自然科学的精确计量,还应兼顾语言的社会人文属性的观点。
Quantitative linguistics is an important branch of modern linguistics and a hot spot in the era of big data.The related theories and laws of Zipf,the founder of the discipline,are widely used and greatly influential in language teaching and research.However,few scholars have examined the source of this scientific research,thus leaving a gap in the study of the development of linguistic thoughts that affects its practical application and the estimation of its future development.Using first-hand literature and archived historical materials,this study aimed to overcome the lack of elaboration on the birth of quantitative linguistics in the history of linguistics by exploring the German origin of Zipf’s thoughts.The study revealed the inseparable connection between the development of mainstream linguistic theories and that of quantitative linguistics through an analysis of Zipf’s academic connections and the academic activities in Berlin during his stay in Germany.This study demonstrated that quantitative linguistics should neither blindly pursue the accuracy of natural science,nor ignore the social and humanistic features of the language.
