现代语言学把语言作为“传递、处理、存储观念信息(文化信息)的一个音义结合的、既极端复杂又高度灵活的信码系统”来研究,在广义信息论的基础上提出语言信息的概念,对这一概念的内涵及本质的深入发掘,为信息时代新的语言学体系奠定了基础,同时也为70年代初兴起的语用学的研究开辟了广阔的前景。 Modern linguistics studies language as an “extremely complex and highly flexible letter system” that transports, processes and stores the semantic meaning of concept information (cultural information). Based on the theory of generalized information, the concept of language information is put forward. The connotation and essence of this conception have laid the foundation for a new linguistic system in the information age and opened up broad prospects for the study of pragmatics which rose in the early 1970s.
