abstract:

This paper offers a developmental account of Peirce's theory of proper names. It identifies two main dimensions of Peirce's thinking on proper names, a "taxonomic dimension," concerning the place of proper names within the taxonomy of signs, and a "maturational dimension," concerning the different "stages of maturity" a proper name goes through when interpreted. These two dimensions also constitute distinct phases of Peirce's (continuously evolving) theory of proper names. The chronological reconstruction offered in the paper is also shown to solve some apparent inconsistencies in what Peirce wrote about proper names.

Peirce 关于专有名词

摘要：

这篇论文提供了 Peirce 的专有名词理论的发展说明。它确定了 Peirce 对专有名词的思考的两个主要维度，一个是“分类维度”，即专有名词在符号分类中的位置，另一个是“成熟维度”，即专有名词所经历的不同“成熟阶段”。解释的时候。这两个维度也构成了 Peirce 的（不断发展的）专名理论的不同阶段。论文中提供的时间顺序重建也被证明可以解决 Peirce 所写的关于专有名词的一些明显不一致的问题。
