语象概念的“引进”与“变异”

“语象”术语近年来流行颇广。该术语最先由赵毅衡创造，作为西方诗学术语image的译语。之后不少中国学者接受了这一术语，其中陈晓明还对于“语象”概念进行了重新定义，蒋寅、韩经太和陶文鹏等分别尝试以“语象”为基础概念来阐释诗学核心概念“意象”。可是，在对于“语象”追根溯源、仔细辨析之后，我们发现赵毅衡的“语象”概念源于对于西方文献的误解，而陈晓明对于“语象”概念的重新定义也欠科学。“语象”是一个有能指、无所指的“悬置学术术语”。

The Introduction and Mutation of the Concept of Yuxiang

The Term Yuxiang has been widely applied in recent years.This term was created by Zhao Yiheng for translating the term Image,and was accepted by many scholars afterwards.Chen Xiaoming redefined this term,which was applied by Jiang Yin,Han Jingtai and Tao Wenpeng for clarifying Yixiang,the key poetic term in Chinese poetics.Yet after careful investigation,it is found that the concept of Yu Xiang was based upon Zhao Yiheng's misunderstanding of Western works,and that Chen Xiaoming's redefinition is not scientific either.Yu Xiang is a term without any denotation.
