Language is the crystallization of human society practice, it is the mostimportant communication tool in our social life.Language is important for hunman,also it is profound,mysterious and complex.Either in the ancient and modern, or Chinese and foreign there are numerous studies for language.About the language study,in the west Platon and Socrates in ancient Greece is the earliest, but in our country as early as the pre Qin period is Confucius, Mo-tse, Xunzi, Keiko, Yin child and so on. Although it is not a system, also reflects the original language consciousness.Which Gongsun Long as representative, in-depth analysis of the language. His book "Gongsun long" is the powerful material we study Gongsun Long’s thought, especially the "white horse theory", "refers to the physical theory", "Tong Bian theory", "the name ofthe discussion"embodies the important linguistic thoughts of Gongsun Long.it is not only the breakthrough of philosophical thought, but also the leap of linguistic thoughts.But this works always have many viewpoints, there are also a lot of controversy. Scholars point of view is also inconsistent, many of them from logic, philosophy, linguistics to analyse.This paper is based on the philosophy of language, focusing on the internal world of human languagejt include three aspects,mainly from language semantics, language form, the relation between name and reality.It is start form exploring therelationship between language and the world, to show the whole process and the formation of language as a spirit content of consciousness by people’s subjective initiative, and emphasize the importance of sense organs and sensory organs for language formation, that language exists in people’s inner world. So the problem of "white horse is not a horse" is interpreted from the perspective of linguistics.Semantics is the core of the whole department of linguistics, but also an important content of discussionof "gongsunlongzi".The"refers to the theory"is the key to Interpretation.At the same time,combining Western semantic research point of view and compare, science so as to Gongsun Long’s semantic view to find a strong basis, tries to clarify the semantic view of Gongsun Long.Basis on the semantic view of Gongsun Long and the language form to be explored, and Saussure’s "theory of value" as the reference.On the one hand, to distinct the language form through the semantics of language.on the other hand, from the language structure discussed the relative certainty of existence and the semantic value of the question, to prove that Gongsun Long understanding of language structure and language meaning relationship.Finally, it is the demonstration core of this paper and "Gongsun long.That is to study Gongsun Long’s thought of "rectification of names", on the rectification of names in the west, in ancient China has a profound social background and history origin.Gongsun Long based on the tradition and carry forward the strike out a new line for oneself, systematically explains to his Zhengming thoughts. To the "the name ofthe discussion" as foothold.From the "name", "reality", "the material", "position" the four elements of, respectively, detailed, comprehensive discussion, based on cognitive linguistics as the analysis tool, to understand the inner relationship exists between the four, emphasizing the "name", "reality", "the material", "position" in the language as a system.On the basis of further investigation of "reality and name " relationship, highlight the "name", "real" internal existence, and ultimately determine the "name rectification" mechanism.Thus, Gongsun Long’s "name" is not only a social problem, is a real language problems, it from language, and eventually returned to the language. "Gongsun long" around the "rectification of names" and the construction of language system is comprehensive, Gongsun Long is profound for language understanding. Accordingly, the "white horse is not a horse" and Gongsun Long’s other linguistic view of prejudice to be clarified.
