摘　　要：媒介本体论的发展关乎着传播学的未来,若要弄清人在理解媒介时最为细微而容易被忽视的谬误究竟于何处发生、媒介本质的核心概念究竟是什么,词源学角度的考察仍是起点。由此通过比较词源学考察进行一种媒介本体论的努力,并最终得到重要启示:“连接”才是媒介的核心特征,“媒介”便是使曾经并无关联的存在物发生连接、产生关系的存在物。尽管比较词源学的追问并未给出“何为媒介”以圆满的答案,但之于媒介本体论的进步意义却是显著的,为媒介本体论中重要问题的回答,阶段性地为媒介本体论提供了重要的依据、观点,乃至想象力。The development of media ontology is related to the future of communication studies,and the etymological investigation is still the starting point if we want to understand where the most subtle and easily overlooked fallacies occur and what the core concept of media essence is.This paper aims to make an effort to develop a media ontology through comparative etymological investigation,and finally obtains an important revelation:“connection”is the core feature of media,and“media”is the existence that connects and relates between once unrelated beings.Although the question of comparative etymology does not give a satisfactory answer to the question of“what is media”,its progressive significance to media ontology is significant,providing an important basis,viewpoint,and even imagination for media ontology in stages.
