摘　　要：本文通过比较早期Wittgenstein和中国禅宗的语言思想,发现他们并非主张一种虚无主义的语言观,而是反对一种严格的意义指称论,即语词本身不能等同于形而上对象。我们认为,无论是在表征感觉经验还是言说形而上学经验的时候,语言都具有非常重要的指引作用。这意味着,感觉话语具有指引性,为我们理解经验世界提供语义线索。但是,确切地理解经验世界需要结合语言和相关的背景知识,并进行一定的语义整合。A comparison between the early Wittgenstein and Chinese Chan reveals that they,in stark contrast with linguistic nihilism,oppose the referential account of meaning in a strict sense,namely that language itself is not equal to a certain metaphysical entity.It is argued that language plays an important role as a pointer in representing experience,be it sensory or metaphysical.In other words,experiential discourses function as a pointer,which provides a semantic clue for us to understand the experiential world.However,fully understanding the experiential world requires the semantic integration of experiential discourses and relevant background information.
