论汉语修辞行为的象似性

海曼在符号学家皮尔士的符号三分法的影响下，把象似性分为成分象似和关系象似。象似性在汉语修辞行为中具体表现在语音、语相、顺序、数量等方面。在表达外部世界时。与真实世界象似的语言形式是一个顺应交际需要的自然过程。它使语言在表达外部世界和内心情感时呈现为优化形态，是符号形式运行的高效行为。

On Iconicity of Chinese Rhetoric

Influenced by Semiotician C.S Peirce, Haiman divided iconicity into two subtypes of isomorphism and motivation. Iconicity is similarly universal in Chinese rhetoric, such as sound, graphology, order, quantity and so on. In expressing the external world, the language form which is iconic to the real world is a natural process to adapt the communicative need. Iconicity, an optimal mode of express the external world and inner feelings, is a highly effective behavior of semiotic operation.
