摘要
现代哲学的分析方法与现代逻辑密切相关,而现代逻辑的一个重要特征就是注重语言的逻辑句法。这是一个从语形到语义的分析过程,也就是说,是通过对语言结构的逻辑分析进入对语言意义的研究,或者说,是以语义分析作为出发点而展开的对语言结构的研究。20世纪50年代之前,哲学家们的主要精力放在语形学研究上;但是20世纪60年代之后,哲学家们逐渐开始关注对语义学的研究,从80年代起哲学家们把语用学作为哲学研究的重要内容。这些都使得当代语言哲学研究进入了一个新的阶段。
The philosophy of language in 20th century has proceeded from syntax, through semantics, to pragmatics. In the process there has been a common interest in language from perspectives of linguists and philosophers whoes concern is how to verify and clarify meanings in language. Syntax studies meanings, by fixing structures of language; semantics is searching for meanings by discussion of relations between language and the world. Pragmatics turns the analysis of meanings to investigations of usages of languange in ordinary life by discussion of the problem of reference in the view of speech acts. This inturn makes pragmatics much more professional and technical in the philosophy of language.
