国内自然语义元语言理论研究:现状与思考

作为当代语义学的一种新范式,自然语义元语言理论于1972年由波兰语义学派创始人安娜·威尔兹彼卡提出.国内的自然语义元语言理论研究始于20世纪90年代初.1994-2014年,我国学者发表相关论文达五十余篇,出版专著两部,初步建构起一套独特的自然语义元语言理论研究体系.从NSM的本体研究、与其他语义学理论的比较、语义解释力、批判性评价、应用研究等五个方面回顾了20年来国内自然语义元语言理论研究的概况,指出了该领域研究中存在的不足,并对其发展前景进行了展望.

Research into NSM theory in China: A review

As a new paradigm of modern semantics, Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory was initially proposed by Anna Wierzbicka, the founder of Polish Semantic School, in 1972. The domestic research into NSM began in the early 1990s. From 1994 to 2014, there have been more than fifty academic papers and two books published on NSM theory by Chinese scholars. From the perspective of its ontological study, comparison with other semantic theories, explanatory power, critical evaluation and application research, this paper provides a general survey of NSM research in China in the past two decades. Finally, limitations of the domestic study in this field are summarized, and prospects for its future research are pointed out.
