最近一段时间,由《现代汉语词典》第6版收录239个字母词引起的争议持续不断,特别是来自语言学界内外的百余位学者于8月29日联名举报这种做法违法并声言字母词危及汉语的纯洁和安全之后,更是引起社会各界对字母词问题的普遍关注,一时之间百家争鸣,意见纷呈。字母词现象错综复杂,人言人殊,看来争论还将持续一个阶段。但是我们发现这次争论固然激烈,学理的深度却显不够。我们觉得应该搁置一些具体环节上的争论,转而着力于字母词本身以及一些相关社会文化问题的学理探究。本期《修辞随谈》邀请到了五位学者就此发表自己的看法。他们视角不同,各有侧重,但都不乏思考的深度。《修辞随谈》致力于成为短兵相接、观点碰撞的学术平台,热诚欢迎您也在字母词的学理层面上参与讨论。若您对此形成了系统的看法,也欢迎写成论文惠赐本刊。 Recently, controversy caused by 239 alphabets included in the 6th edition of the Dictionary of Modern Chinese continues. In particular, more than 100 scholars from within and outside the linguistic community jointly reported on August 29 that this practice violated the law and claimed the letter Endangering the purity and safety of Chinese, it has aroused widespread concern in society from the perspective of alphabetic words. All in all, hundreds of schools of thought contend with different opinions. The complexities of alphabetic words make one person’s speech exceptional. It seems that the debate will continue for a period of time. However, we found that although the debate was fierce, the depth of academic study was not enough. We think it is appropriate to put aside some specific issues and turn to the study of the alphabet itself and some related social and cultural issues. This issue of “rhetoric with the talk,” invited five scholars to express their views. They have different perspectives and different focuses, but they all lack the depth of thought. “Rhetoric with the conversation,” committed to become an academic platform for short-serving, collision of views, sincerely welcome you to participate in the discussion on the academic level of the alphabet. If you form a systematic view of this, but also welcome to write the article Huicui publication.
