| 摘 要： 任意性与相对可论证性在索绪尔语言学思想里占有重要的地位，对它们的解读应该遵循语言研究中的时间原则，即从“历史存在”与“未来发展”的角度，既忠实地继承二者的本真状态，又合理地挖掘其变化张力。本着这一主张，任意性可以理解为一个广义性的概念，细分为十五种含义和三重作用；相对可论证性是任意性的反题的滥觞，与合成符号的内部形式紧密关联，并且孕育了语言理据性的思想萌芽。因此语言符号的性质可以用任意性和理据性来描述，即它处于由任意性和理据性这两条原则共同构成的区间里。 |

| Abstract: Arbitrariness and the relative motivation are two key notions in Saussurean Linguistics and the interpretation of them should be made according to the Principle of Time. That is, both of the authentic and revolutionary features are to be considered in the interpretation from the perspective of heritage and continuity respectively. Starting from this perspective, the author believes that arbitrariness is a broad notion and it contains fifteen meanings and three functions; the relative motivation is the origin of the idea of non-arbitrariness which is not only related to the concept of inner form of compound signs but also embodies the notion of linguistic motivation. Hence the nature of linguistic signs can be and should be described by arbitrariness and motivation altogether. |
