摘　　要：范畴化是人在社会实践中通过语言按区别性本质特征对客体进行概括和分类的认知活动。概括出来的类别就是范畴。用来区分范畴的特征是本质特征,不是典型特征;范畴的连续性和界限是辩证统一的;范畴按客体的区别性的相似点来划分;范畴的主观性和客观性也是辩证统一的。Categorization is a kind of cognitive activity in which people categorize and classify objects in terms of language according to their distinguishing characteristics in social practice. The generalized classification is called categorization. The characteristics used to distinguish classes are essential but not typical ones. The continuity and boundary of categorization is dialectic. Categorization is realized on the basis of similar properties of objects. In addition, the subjectivity and objectivity of categorization are dialectic as well.
