摘　　要：为回应《科学革命的结构》招致的争议,库恩引入了语言学的思想资源试图进一步阐释“不可通约性”的概念。这一进路被后来的哲学家称为库恩的“语言学转向”。传统上,学者们认为,语言学家沃尔夫是库恩“语言学转向”的思想来源之一。本文试图表明,相较于沃尔夫,他的老师萨丕尔的语言学思想与库恩的“不可通约性”相似性更多,可能更为深刻地影响了库恩的思想转向。此外,本文还展示了萨丕尔与库恩在其他方面的相似点,这进一步揭示了库恩思想来源的复杂性。In order to respond to the controversy caused by The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,Kuhn introduced the intellectual resources of linguistics trying to redefine the concept of"incommensurability".This approach is named as"linguistic turn"by later philosophers.Traditionally,scholars regard Benjamin Lee Whorf as one of the sources of Kuhn's thoughts.Comparing with Whorf,this paper tries to prove that,as his teacher,Edward Sapir's linguistic thoughts are more similar to Kuhn's"incommensurability"'and might influence Kuhn's turn more profoundly than that of Whorf's.Moreover,this paper demonstrates other similarities between Sapir and Kuhn so as to reveal the complexity of the sources of Kuhn's thoughts.
