摘　　要：荀子主张名称形成是约定俗成的。在他看来,名称与事物之间的对应关系不是先天形成,也不是固定的,而是人们约定的结果。人们依据一定的原则对事物进行统类和区分,在荀子看来制名也遵循同样的原则,即徧举与偏举,由此事物的名称就可以分为别名、共名等。在《荀子》文本中,“心有征知”表明了荀子对人类辨析事物及其名称分类的基本看法,既要靠感官感知,也要靠心灵体验。感官和心灵是同一的,也是经验的,人们通过感官感知和心灵体验获得对名称的认知。Xunzi(313-238 B.C.),an ancient Chinese scholar and theorist,proposed that nomenclatures came into being through conventions.In his view,terms and things correspond to each other through human conventions rather than naturally or fixed.People classify and distinguish things according to some principles.To him,Bian Ju(general listing)and Pian Ju(particular listing)are a common way of nomenclatures.Also,he argued that human beings depend on senses,both physical and mental,for experience and understanding.Senses and mind are thus unified and experience-based,forming the proper approaches to the cognition of nomenclatures.
