(一) 近二十年来,语义学在语言学领域中异军突起,成为一个很有发展前途的语言学部门。但是,语义学早已有之,并非新学科。过去它长期处于不被重视的附属地位,既缺乏系统深入的研究,也没有自己的研究方法和研究框架,当然更谈不上有明确的对象范围。现代语义学是在过去的基础上发展的,研究视野又扩大很多,关于研究对象究竟如何的问题,自然也从过去的语义学承传了下来,须要在理论上和研究实践中加以解决。 (A) In the recent two decades, semantics has emerged as a new force in linguistics and has become a promising linguistics department. However, semantics already exists, not a new discipline. In the past, it has long been in an undeserved subsidiary status. It lacks systematic and in-depth research and does not have its own research methods and research framework, let alone a clear range of subjects. Modern semantics is developed on the basis of the past, the research field of view has expanded a lot, and the question of exactly what the research object is is naturally inherited from the past semantics and needs to be solved theoretically and research practice.
