Abstract “Foundations of the theory of signs,” published by Charles W. Morris in 1938, deals with the relations between semiotics and science, and those between semiosis and semiotics, among others. Compared with previous research regarding the aspects of semiotics being meta-science, the three dimensions of semiosis, semiotic as organon of the sciences, etc., this article does push forward the development of linguistics and semiotics since the late 1930s. However, its discussions on semiotics being meta-science, the nature and classification of signs, the three dimensions of semiosis, organism in the sign relations, universals and universality of signs, and thing-language are either not logically rigid or inadequate in content and scope. For a piece of work discussing the theoretical foundations of signs, it does not consider sign transformation, a universal and ubiquitous sign activity, which is not consistent with the keyword “foundations” in its title. A critical analysis of these problems involving the aspects mentioned above may not only enrich the visions of triadic sign relations, semiotics, and translation semiotics, but also inspire future semiotic studies and even other new research related to signs.

符号理论的基础（1938）

摘要1938年，查尔斯·W·莫里斯（Charles W. Morris）出版了“符号理论的基础”，内容涉及符号学和科学之间的关系，以及符号学和符号学之间的关系。与以往关于符号学作为元科学，符号学的三个维度，符号学作为科学的有机组成部分等方面的研究相比，本文确实推动了自1930年代末以来语言学和符号学的发展。但是，它对符号学的讨论是元科学，符号的性质和分类，符号学的三个维度，符号关系中的有机体，符号的普遍性和普遍性以及事物语言在逻辑上不是僵硬的，或者在内容和语言上都不足够。范围。对于讨论符号理论基础的工作，它没有考虑符号转换，一种普遍且普遍存在的标志活动，与标题中的“基金会”一词不一致。对涉及上述各个方面的这些问题进行批判性分析，不仅可以丰富三合会符号关系，符号学和翻译符号学的视野，而且可以激发未来的符号学研究，甚至其他与符号有关的新研究。
