戴维森在20世纪90年代提出三角测量理论,以此取代了他在70年代建立的真理理论语义学,这体现了戴维森在意义观和语言观上发生了巨大转变。真理理论语义学本身的缺陷促使戴维森对意义理论的一些基本主张和原则作了如下修正:1)意义整体论的弱化;2)真理观的转变。这导致戴维森构建新的意义理论,即三角测量理论。这些在基本观点和基本原则上的变化揭示了戴维森思想转变的逻辑线索,并且证明戴维森的意义理论发生了从语义学观点向语用学观点的转向,即语用学转向。
Davidson put forward the theory of triangulation in the 1990s to replace the semantic theory of truth that he established in the 1970s, which shows that Davidson has undergone a tremendous change in the view of meaning and language. Defects in the truth theory semantics prompted Davidson to amend some basic ideas and principles of the theory of meaning as follows: 1) the weakening of the holism of meaning; 2) the change of the concept of truth. This led Davidson to construct a new theory of meaning, the triangulation theory. These changes in fundamental views and basic principles reveal the logical clues to the change of Davidson’s thought and prove that Davidson’s theory of meaning has shifted from a semantic perspective to a pragmatic perspective, that is, a shift in pragmatics.
