摘　　要：由于罗兰•巴特“中性”思想的渊源深邃,疏解关键概念是阐明其理论内核的有效路径。巴特的中性思想主要围绕三个符号学概念展开——中性化、中性项、中性意指。这三个概念分别对应了其中性思想的理论渊源、理论诉求和表意方式。巴特的中性化思想不仅将其理论视域从语音层面拓宽至符号关系与意义问题上,并为其中性思想奠定了超越二元对立的思维范式。巴特的中性项思想打破了“非此即彼”的思维定式,揭橥了极项间的原义素,破坏了二元对立中的暴力等级制。为了避免将中性项等同于“非非论”的普遍误解,本文以“非A之A”的表达形式连缀了极项与中性项的意义关联。迫于拓展论域的研究欲求,本文建构了“中性意指”概念,以悬置内涵意指的价值判断,以打破指称意指的表意局限,进而将沉默和答非所问作为其具体的表意方式。Given the complexity and depth of Roland Barthes’s reflections on the concept of neutre,interpreting key concepts is essential to clarify its core ideas.Barthes’s exploration of neutre revolves around three central semiotic concepts:neutralization,neutral term,and neutral signification,which correspond to the theoretical foundations,demands,and modes of expression within his framework.Neutralization expanded Barthes’s theoretical scope,moving from phonetics to issues concerning the relationships between signs and meaning,and established a foundational paradigm that transcends binary oppositions in his thoughts on neutre.Barthes’s approach to the neutral term challenges the traditional“either-or”mentality,uncovering the archiseme that links polar terms and dismantling the hierarchical violence inherent in binary opposition.To avoid the common misunderstanding that the neutral term is synonymous with“neither-norism”,this paper re-establishes the connection between polar terms and the neutral term through the expression“A of non-A”.To further expand the theoretical field,this paper introduces the concept of neutral signification,which serves both to suspend value judgments in connotative signification and to free signification from the constraints of denotative meaning.It then explores silence and“giving irrelevant answers”as practical forms of neutral signification.
