语言符号的任意性是贯穿索绪尔语言符号思想的一条重要原则,也是他符号学理论的基本观点和创建结构主义的理论支柱,是全面理解索绪尔思想理论体系的关键。因此,多少年来对任意性学说的研究经久不衰,研究者们各自发表对语言符号任意性的理解。本文简要评介了索绪尔语言符号任意性的观点。 The arbitrariness of linguistic signs is an important principle that runs through Saussure’s linguistic signs. It is also the basic point of his semiotical theory and the theoretical pillar of structuralism. It is the key to a full understanding of Saussure’s theory of thought. As a result, the study of arbitrary doctrine has lasted for many years, and researchers each published their own understanding of the arbitrariness of linguistic signs. This article briefly reviews Saussure’s notion of arbitrariness in linguistic signs.
