摘　　要：语言要有意义 ,就必须或直接或间接地指示物理客体。思想和言说之谬误的根源在于 :混淆实名词 (即主项之名 ,包括物理名词和抽象名词 )和物理世界之关系 ,冒称前者是后者。本着此种语言观 ,宪法学者的首要职责就是解释主权的真相。此种身份定位决定了宪法的概念 :它是关于主权之构成和运作的真规则 ,包括道德无涉的宪法法律和惯例。在成文宪法作用仍待提升的国家 ,要解释主权的真规则 ,培育符合宪政的宪法 ,尤其要倚重宪法惯例。Language, if not being nonsense, must directly or indirectly refer to physical objects. The roots of errors of thoughts and discourses consist in confusing the nouns substantive and the physical world or substituting the latter for the former. Starting from this linguistic philosophy, I think that the primary duty of constitution scholars is to expose the real rules of sovereignty. From this duty-consciousness comes the following concept of constitution: the real rules concerning the organization and operation of sovereignty, including the constitutional laws and conventions that have nothing to do with their moral desirability. In a state whose written constitution just acts as lip service, constitutional conventions are more important for us to understand the real rules of its sovereignty than constitutional laws.
