摘　　要：汉字革命是20世纪中国文化与文学革命的重要一环。作为汉字革命的开端,罗马化运动标志着语音中心主义和字母普遍主义在中国的发生。本文以中国现代语言学之父赵元任的罗马化工作为线索,重审废除汉字的激进主张的理论源流、跨国际发展,以及随之带来的技术化书写观的结果。一方面,汉字字母化的进程高度契合殖民全世界的语音中心主义。另一方面,罗马化运动以支持改用拉丁罗马字母为前提,在追求可视语音,并与先进声音复制技术碰撞的过程中,出人意料地否定了字母普遍主义,提示重新思考书写意义的必要。The modern Chinese script revolution constituted a significant dimension of the 19 th century Chinese cultural and literary revolution.This article introduces the beginning of the modern Chinese script revolution——the Chinese Romanization movement.Tracing the work of Yuen Ren Chao——the movement’s arch-theoretician and father of modern Chinese linguistics,the author excavates the theoretical origins of those radical proposals that aimed to eradicate Chinese characters,map their transnational development,and reconsider the outcome of an increasingly technologizing view on writing.On the one hand,the alphabetization of the Chinese script coalesced with the dominance of phono centrism——the systematic privileging of speech over writing——on a global scale.On the other,the Chinese Romanization movement,in adhering to the phonocentric principle and in pursuing more advanced technologies of visible speech and sound reproduction,inadvertently undermined the universality of the Roman-Latin alphabet and highlighted the necessity of rethinking the true meaning of writing beyond the logic of supplementarity.
