摘要
在索绪尔的社会符号元理论中 ,价值是主要的本体论范畴。语言差别系统中产生的价值是一个语境化关系即句段关系和联想关系构成的系统。语言组织内在的产生价值的关系是意义构建的手段。因此 ,价值是构建意义的潜势 ,这种潜势由语言系统中各个要素之间存在的差别关系来表现。索绪尔主要根据系统内各要素之间的差别宽泛地阐述语言的价值。本文则从成分分析和功能语法中的经验功能理论的视角重新审视语言的价值 ,着重论述价值的相对稳定性、价值的动态特征以及价值在言语行为中的作用方式 ,以丰富和发展索绪尔的语言价值理论。
The principal ontological category in Saussure's social-semiological metatheory is that of value. The values which emanate from the system of differences in langue are a system of contextualizing relations, i.e., syntagmatic and associative relations. The value-producing relations which are internal to the organizations of language are the means through which meanings are constructed. Value is, therefore, a meaning-making potential which is expressed in the relations of differences which hold among all the terms in the language system. Saussure expounds linguistic value mainly based on differences among elements within a system they belong to in general terms. From the perspectives of Componential Analysis and the experiential function in Functional Grammar, the present paper, however, reconsiders linguistic value with an emphasis on the relative invariability, dynamic nature of value and the way in which value works in parole in an attempt to enrich and develop Saussure's theory of linguistic value.
