亚当·斯密是世界公认的哲学家和经济学家,其哲学和经济学理论曾为学界广为传颂。但是,他有关语言的思考却鲜为人知,流传于后世的语言学著述只有《有关语言缘起的思考》(1761)和《论语言缘起和进步》(1762)两篇,后者为前者的缩写本,在内容上是同一篇文章。为了窥视亚氏的语言学观点、学科贡献及其影响,有必要从语言学史的视角对《有关语言缘起的思考》一文给予深入的探讨和分析。
Adam Smith is a recognized philosopher and economist in the world, and his philosophical and economic theories have been widely praised by scholars. However, his thinking on languages is poorly understood. The linguistic writings circulating in later generations contain only two articles, “Thoughts on the Origins of Language” (1761) and “On the Origin and Progress of Language (1762)”, the latter being the former abbreviation This, in the content is the same article. In order to peep at Aristotle ’s linguistic viewpoint, subject contribution and its influence, it is necessary to deeply discuss and analyze “Argument on the origin of language” from the perspective of linguistic history.
