摘　　要：在中华文明探源工程中,考古学与历史学虽然取得了丰硕的成果,但对口传时代的研究存在一定的局限。材料与认知的原因,导致神话与历史难以分辨,为此在文明探源中需要通过神话学语言路径,廓清和打通早期文明研究中的难点和热点问题。在此过程中,如何处理好神话与语言的系统性,即在语言路径中既要考虑神话文本之间以神名或类型为线索构成的系统,又要顾及以语音的发展演变规律构成的另一个系统,并将二者结合研究以提高其阐释的科学性和有效性,是神话学语言路径的关键所在。Archaeology and history have achieved fruitful results in exploring the origin of Chinese civilization,but there are certain limitations in the study of oral tradition.For reasons of materials and cognition,it is difficult to distinguish between mythology and history,so it is necessary to open up and clarify the difficulties and hot issues in the study of early civilization through the linguistic path of mythology.In this process,we should deal with the systematization of myth and language,that is,in the language path,consider both the system composed of the name or type of god between mythological texts and take into account another system composed of the law of the development and evolution of speech,as well as combine the two to improve the scientific nature of its interpretation.
