摘　　要：戴维森纲领旨在提供一种自然语言的外延性意义理论而诉诸的约定-T模式,面临外延性和语义解释性之间的冲突而蕴涵异常的T-语句。这一问题因受到福斯特等人的批评而称为"福斯特问题"。戴维森力图诉诸语义组合性结构和典范证明、经受反事实条件检验和彻底解释中的宽容原则排除异常的T-语句,以捍卫其原则性理论立场。然而,戴维森做出的这番努力因缺乏足够的说服力并未消除其理论面临的这一难题。这表明,跨越真之概念的语言层次的做法和建立一种严格非循环性语义论的目标是不可取的,戴维森纲领勾画的理想蓝图难以成真。Convention-T schema to which Davidsonian Program resorts to provide an extensional theory of meaning for a natural language faces the conflict between extensionality and semantic interpretiveness and thus contains the abnormal T-sentences. This problem is called ＂Foster Problem＂for Foster and others criticized the above-mentioned phenomenon. To defend his principial position of theory,Davidson tries to resort to the semantic combination structure and canonical demonstration,the counterfactual conditional test and the principle of charity in radical interpretation to eliminate the abnormal T-sentences. Davidson＇s efforts,however,have not solved this difficult problem because his theory lacks enough cogency. It suggests that the use of the concept of truth across language hierarchy and the aim to construct a strictly non-circular semantics are inadvisable,so the ideal blueprint delineated by Davidsonian is difficult to come true.
