思维与语言的关系一直是语言学研究的一个经典问题,而两者孰先孰后更是争论的焦点,2000多年以来争议和论证不绝。在对两方的观点进行简要综述的基础上,本文通过翔实的引证和事例证明思维先于语言,而语言使思维深刻,并对思维构成规约。 The relationship between thinking and language has always been a classic problem in linguistic research. However, the debate between the two is more controversial. There have been no disputes and arguments since 2000. On the basis of a brief review of the two sides’ views, this paper proves that thinking precedes the language through informative quotations and examples, while the language makes the thinking profound and constitutes the statute of thinking.
