Aristotelian Logical Theory Has A Certain Origin Relation With His Language Study

Aristotelian logical theory is not only profound and far-reaching but also permanent to the influence of the later generations. Continuously, people think that Aristotelian logical theory derives from mathematics. After considering, we find that language factors have an especial importance during the formation and the development of Aristotelian logical theory, his logical theory and his language study have a certain origin relation. From the logical angle in language, we analyze the language thoughts in his logical works, finding out the origin relation between them.On rhetoric, the《Rhetoric》is Aristotelian logical work of the earlier stage. The creation of this work relied on the wise' practice on language. Through their rhetoric, Aristotle summed up his metaphor theory and applied it to the analogous reasoning theory in the late.On grammar, the concept,the proposition and the syllogism can help us find the relation between his logical theory and his grammar study, especially the use of the logical conjunction "if …so…". This article emphasizes that this logical conjunction belongs to the cause and effect sentence pattern on grammar, and so finds out the relation between the premiss and the conclusion in Aristotle's syllogism. Finally, we get a conclusion: Aristotelian logical theory not only origins from but also surpasses his grammar study.On semantic, when the logicians analyze semantic, they always talk about four questions: the lexical item's intention and extension; the sentence's right and wrong; the item's systematic question; the transmit relation and the exchange relation with each other of the item. From the concept to the proposition, from the proposition to the syllogism, Aristotle analyzed them on semantic. In the end, we get a conclusion: Aristotelian logical theory is unable to separate from his semantic study.Finally, aiming at the standpoint "logic origins from mathematics", we have the conclusion of the full text: Aristotelian logical theory has a certain origin relation with his language study.
