摘　　要：文章从人类的认知心理、客观事物或现象的类属划分、语言及交际活动四个方面说明了语言模糊性产生的原因。认为人类的认知能力具有不确定性和有限性,这种不确定性和有限性导致了客观事物或现象类属划分的模糊性,指称这些模糊范畴的语言也就不可避免地存在模糊性;语言和客观事物或现象是通过认知活动产生联系的,当人们对客观事物或现象产生模糊反应时,其对应的语言符号必然具有模糊性;由于其独特的语用功能,语言的模糊性成为交际的需要。The paper iUustrates the causes of language fuzziness from the aspect of cognitive psychology, categorization on objective things or phenomena, language and communicative activities. It holds that in human cognitive ability there are uncertainty and limitation which result in the vagueness of the categorization of objective things or phenomena, and vagueness exists unavoidably in the language referring to those categories. Language and objective things or phenomena are connected by cognitive activities, so when we have vague reaction to objective things or phenomena the corresponding linguistic symbols are surely vague. Moreover, language vagueness becomes the necessity of communication because of its unique pragmatic function.
