索绪尔认为语言系统是一个由一系列任意符号组成的自足的、封闭的系统。一方面,他强调语言系统是自足的、封闭的,另一方面,他没有忽略语言系统的开放性。语言同其他事物一样,由于各种因素的影响在不断演变。索绪尔认为语言系统的延续变迁说明它在一定意义上也是开放的,具有潜在的开放性。本文通过分析语言系统的封闭性与开放性以及二者之间的关系,以期正确理解索绪尔关于该问题的本意。 Saussure believes that the language system is a self-contained, closed system composed of a series of arbitrary symbols. On the one hand, he emphasized that the linguistic system was self-contained and closed. On the other hand, he did not ignore the openness of the linguistic system. Language, like everything else, evolves due to the influence of various factors. Saussure believes that the continued changes in the language system shows that it is also open in a certain sense, with potential openness. By analyzing the closedness and openness of the language system and the relationship between them, this paper attempts to correctly understand Saussure 's original intention on the issue.
