生命树、不死药与巫的关系

艺术语言意象是一种象征性的艺术符号，它的符号意义是意象自身性质和象征效应的统一，它是对事物的拟态表现，它所蕴含的意义往往超越了所假之象本身的象限，从而生发出象外之象。发话主体为“尽意”所立之“象”，是一种佯谬性的复合意象，具有多向性、扩展性，能形成一种似谬实真的艺术张力。在言语交际中，发话主体“立象”只是为“尽意”创造了条件，真正的“尽意”要通过受话者接受来实现。

Inadequate expression and the imagery tendency of artistic language

As a system of symbolic codes and a unity of the imagery itse lf and it s figurative effect, artistic language is a mimicry of the objects it describes and its meaning goes beyond the dimensions of the imagery created. The complex i magery created by the addresser for adequate expression is characterized by mult iple directions, extensibility and an artistic power of producing real impressio n by seemingly false images. In actual communication, the imagery created by the addesser is only the prerequisite for adequate expression, for it cannot be ach ieved but in the reception of the addresee.
