A Study On Zhou Liquan's Theory Of Meaning

Zhou Liquan is a very influential logician in China.He is the first person in China to put forward the logic of natural language logic.In his natural language logic system,meaning theory plays an important role.The formation of Zhou Liquan's theory of meaning was directly influenced by the theories of Morris,Austin,Searle and Grice.On the other hand,in the context of a specific era,he also produced a series of his own views and opinions on formal logic.Zhou Liquan advocated that the study of formal logic should implement the principle of dialectical materialism epistemology,and the theory should be linked to reality.At the same time,formal logic should be combined with our grammar and rhetoric.These ideas have prompted Zhou Liquan's research on the theory of meaning.As far as the main content is concerned,Zhou Liquan's theory of meaning is a layered and progressive structure.First of all,the study of language,that is,the four levels of language composition,language classification,linguistic nature and discourse,laid the language foundation for its meaning theory.Secondly,Zhou Liquan's theory of meaning further studies the meaning of the discourse by studying the meaning of natural language,that is,the expression of meaning,the meaning of expression,the meaning of excitement and the specific meaning of natural language.Zhou Liquan clearly stated that there are four levels of discourse,and each layer has its corresponding meaning.The meaning of the abstract sentence is the proposition,the meaning of the statement is the propositional attitude,the meaning of the discourse is the meaning,and the meaning of the discourse in the communicative context is meaning.Finally,in Zhou Liquan's theory of meaning,the influence of context on meaning is particularly critical and an important factor that cannot be ignored.Zhou Liquan's theory of meaning has important research value.Zhou Liquan's theory of meaning not only has a guiding role in the research direction of meaning theory,but also has important value for his context theory and the formation of natural language logic system.His theory of meaning promoted the development of Chinese language logic,influenced a large number of scholars,and at the same time caused people's attention to the relationship between natural language and formal logic and the existence of the value of natural language logic.
