摘要
关于沃尔夫的研究长期聚焦于"语言相对主义原则",事实上,他建构的是一个完整且具有可操作性的理论体系——沃尔夫理论体系.佩妮·李 1996 年整理出版的《耶鲁报告》是沃尔夫理论体系的基础性文件,也是沃尔夫思想迄今最完整的呈现,涵盖语音、语法、语用等方面.它回应了目前学界对语言相对主义原则的误读和争论,还原了沃尔夫理论体系的架构和内容,具有深远的现实意义:其一,厘清了语言与思维的关系;其二,将格式塔心理学的研究应用于语言学分析;其三,其中语言对比与经验切分的关系反映的其实是文化差异与世界图景的关系.
Abstract
The study of Whorf has long focused on the "linguistic relativity principle".In fact,he constructed a complete and operational theoretical system—The Whorf Theory Complex.Lee made a comprehensive study of Whorf's theory and published The Yale Report.It is the fundamental document of Whorf's theoretical system,and it is also the most complete presentation of Whorf's thought so far,inclu-ding phonetics,grammar,pragmatics and so on.To a certain extent,The Yale Report explains the cur-rent academic misunderstanding and debate on "linguistic relativity principle",restores the structure and content of"The Whorf Theory Complex",and has following far-reaching practical significance:the first is to clarify the relationship between language and thinking;the second is the research and linguistic appli-cation of Gestalt psychology;and the third is the relationship between linguistic contrast and experience segmentation as well as cultural difference and world picture.
