Language Analysis And The Study Of Image

Image is an important concept of Chinese literary theory and aesthetics category.Now hardly any thinks the image is a concept from the western,but which has quite influential in academic circle for a while in the 1930s and 1940s.But the opinion has totally changed through by the represented scholar of MinZe.But one thing should also be admitted that:image research has been strongly influenced by the western theories.The thesis mainly studied the definition of image by MinZe(Qian Zhongshu),Yuan Xingpei,Chen Zhi's and Jiang Yin from the 1980s,extracted objective image and subjective image as the two elements of image concept.Then discussed the relationship between environment and artistic conception,and the conclusion is:the two concepts has a co-existence relation:when the environment becomes the artistic concept,the image(?)also becomes the image concept at the same time,and vice versa.We can also begin our research from the verbal icon which is discussed by many scholars,and discuss the relationship between the verbal icon and image.The thesis has a definition of the verbal icon after checking the research result:the verbal icon is the visual memories when seeing the figurative words.Why so definition of verbal icon refer to the relationship between the image(?)and the meaning,which is also the main question of the thesis.The thesis summarizes the different understanding of image,divide the image into three layers:pre-language image,sound image and accompaniment,then analyze the relationship among the levels of the image and the meaning.And the conclusion is:image is not necessary of attaining the meaning,but has a positive role for the conveying the meaning.So the relationship between verbal icon and image is clear:the verbal icon is unequal to image until the aesthetic view of it.After the discussion of image(?)and meaning in a basic level,we discuss the relationship between image and words.On this issue,there are two common views:the image sticking to the words and words are the carrier of image,which some scholars do not agree with it and write a paper to argue it.If you want to further understand the relationship between image and words,we need to see it in a huge view that the relation among the words,world and the identity of image.The thesis discuss the essence of language from the view of signal,word and sentence,recommend to understand the relationship between language and world from the new angle of the language is world's imaging.After that discuss the relationship between the identity of image,private image and words.It is rare research that the relationship between image and identity.The thesis introduce the classical period and modern period thinker's identity theory,which focus on the Hegel,Wittgenstein,and Heidegger's identity theory.The image in the meaning can be understand in the Wittgenstein's theory that the identity of symbol is the identity of language setting.The identity of image can be understand both Hegel's theory of the spirit's self-change and Heidegger's theory of Being's self-manifestation.From the Wittgenstein's discuss of the private language,we propose a new topic of discussion:private image.The thesis discuss the above question from the view of inner meaning and expression,words and inner feeling.The private of image is also associated with the understand of image.The thesis discuss the basic aspect that why we need to understand,then discuss the Wittgenstein's theory of understand is following the rule,at last clarify the understanding is not inner process from the negative aspect.It is deem that in the understanding of image,we need switch from the audience's inner process to the external fine levels.
