摘　　要：本维尼斯特立足于索绪尔的语言符号学思想,提出话语层面的语义学和跨语言分析中的元语义学两条路径,进而构成符意学、语义学和元语义学三种模式。符意学关注语言符号自身的意指性,语言符号在封闭系统内作为交流的基础材料,只有在语言群体中被识别出来才能发挥其意指功能;语义学围绕话语的意指层面,在句子表达形式中揭示语言的交际功能;元语义学针对文本和作品进行跨语言分析,作者创造出适合再现情感的意象,使自己的独特体验内在于话语。这两条路径和三种模式,构成了本维尼斯特符号学思想的主要脉络,并且对后续符号学研究产生了积极的影响。Building on Saussure’s foundation of linguistic semiotics,Benveniste proposes two key pathways—semantics at the discourse level and metasemantics in translinguistic analysis—together forming the three modes of semiotics:semantics and metasemantics.Semiotics,in this framework,emphasizes the significance of linguistic signs,which serve as the fundamental units of communication in a closed system.These signs function as signifiers only when recognized within a language community.Semantics focuses on the level of meaning within discourse,illuminating the communicative function of language through sentence-level expressions.Metasemantics,on the other hand,provides a translinguistic analysis of texts,where authors craft imagery that captures and conveys their distinct emotional experiences within discourse.These two pathways and three modes constitute the core of Benveniste’s semiotic theory,and they have exerted a significant influence on subsequent semiotics research.
