叶斯柏森是二十世纪最重要的语言学家之一,《语法哲学》是其代表作。在该书中叶斯柏森阐述了很多重要的普通语言学理论,这些理论和索绪尔在《普通语言学教程》中的表述异曲同工。叶斯柏森是“习惯语法”的代表人物,他把语言视为一套习惯,注重从说话者的角度,从语言外部对语言现象进行充分细致的描写和分析。和索绪尔一样,叶斯柏森的许多语言学观念和方法论是超越时代的,是我们在研究语言的过程中值得借鉴的。 Ye Si Bo Sen is one of the most important linguists in the twentieth century, “grammar philosophy” is its representative. In his book, Yershobsen elaborated on a number of important theories of general linguistics that are similar to those of Saussure in The Course of General Linguistics. Ye Si Bo Sen is the “customary grammar ” representative, he regarded the language as a set of habits, focusing on the speaker’s point of view, from the language of the language phenomenon fully detailed description and analysis. Like Saussure, many of Yesenbosch’s linguistic concepts and methodologies transcend the times and are worth learning from our study of the language.
