从模因论看文字体系的“二次约定”

“二次约定”是描述文字体系创建模式的一种崭新的语言符号观，并且这种对上一级符号的模仿和重建已成为文字体系形成过程中的主要构建机制。“二次约定”事实上就是符号与符号之间的“模仿’’和“复制”．不仅在文字体系内部，而且在文字体系之间也存在对已有符号的仿制和传播，这与模因论的基本观点是一致的。用模因论的属性分析文字体系的“二次约定”，有利于我们重视模因在文字符号及其构成体系中的影响和作用。

On Rebus in Writing Systems from the perspective of Memetics

Rebus is a new linguistic and semiotic concept that explains the constructing mode of writing system. The imitation and reconstruction based on the previous signs has come to be the major working mechanism of the word formation system. In fact, Rebus is the imitation and replication between signs both in the writing system and between different systems, which is in accordance with the rules of memetics. Therefore, the relationship between the concept of Rebus and memetics helps us to emphasize the impor- tance of memes in the course of construction of written signs.
