词汇语义学史论的壮丽风景

与词汇语义研究的日益发展相比,词汇语义学史论却鲜有人问津。现代语义学的三块基石包括：语义场理论产生的背景是新洪堡特主义;语义成分分析法产生的背景是社会功能结构主义;关系语义学的系统意义建立在指称意义基础之上。20世纪以来,尽管出现了一系列的专著,但还缺一部基于中国学术精神、借鉴西方现代理论梳理汉语词汇语义研究理论和方法的著作,《欧美词汇语义学理论》中译本的出版,将会对中国语言学界的词汇语义学研究产生推动作用。

Vision of the History of Lexical Semantics

The scarcity of the studies in the history of lexical semantics forms a sharp contrast with the boom of the studies in lexical semantics. The three cornerstones of modern semantics is： the theory of Bedeutungsfeld is built on Neo-Humboldtism; the semantic analysis method is based on structural functionalism; the systemic meaning of relation semantics is built on the basis of referential meaning. The 20th century and after was not short of monographs on Chinese lexical semantic theory and methods, but one with Chinese academic spirit and western theories. The publication of Theories of Lexical Semantics will give a boost to China＇s lexical semantic studies.
