为实现名字与摹状词的有效区分,进而充分揭示包含摹状词的命题其实际的逻辑结构,罗素将摹状词处理为无意义的语词。不过,摹状词仅仅是一些指称不确定的语词,而在语义学中,无意义通常指语词无指称,从不确定指称到没有指称,有不小的歧义需要澄清。另外,强制剥夺摹状词的意义,也会引入还原论和整体论两种对立的语义学原则,使得何种表达式,即究竟是名字还是包含摹状词的命题,能够作为基本的意义单位,无法确定。罗素理论这些可能的困难,预示着摹状词的语言学特性,不是语义学一个理论模型可以涵盖的,需要借助一些语用学的方法,才能获得充分澄清。
In order to realize the effective distinction between names and descriptions, and then fully reveal the actual logical structure of the propositions containing the descriptions, Russell treats the descriptions as meaningless words. However, the descriptions are only some of the words referring to the indefinite. In semantics, meaninglessness usually refers to the non-referential of the words. From indefinite allegations to no allegations, there is not much ambiguity to be clarified. In addition, the imposition of the deprivation of the meaning of the description word will also introduce the two semantic principles of reductionism and holism, so that the expression, ie the name or the proposition containing the description word, can be used as the basic unit of meaning ,unconfirmed. These possible difficulties of Russell’s theory indicate that the linguistic features of the descriptions are not covered by a theoretical model of semantics. Some pragmatic methods are needed to be fully clarified.
