摘　　要：根据皮尔士,符号可分为规约符(symbol)、指示符(index)和象似符(icon)三种,人们一般认为语言属于规约符,而指示符与象似符往往与非语言符号相关。然而,对于以复杂笔画为构词部件,常以字形为表意手段的汉字来说,字并非仅作为规约符而存在,也可能会发挥指示符与象似符的功能。本文通过对"■二"这两个特殊的汉字符号进行分析,指出其作为规约符、指示符以及象似符的特征,继而对普通汉字符号学特征的分析提出一些初步的看法。According to Peirce,signs can be classified into three types:symbol,index and icon,in which language is typical-lyregarded as symbol,while non-linguistic signs are mainly related to index or icon.However,for the Chinese language whose morpholog ical structure is composed of complicated strokes and meaning expression is closely related to the character’s mor-phologicalforms,its characters may not be simply used as symbols,but often than not used as indexes and icons.By analyzing the special Chinese character cluster■二,this paper explicates how its symbolic,indexical and iconic functions are represen-ted,and,following that,tentatively proposes the way of analyzing the sign’s properties in ordinary Chinese characters.
