Reexamination of Bhartrhari's Theory on Sentence and its Meaning, based upon the Manuscripts

本研究通过对梵文文本的分析，考察古代印度的语言哲学家是如何理解“句子意义”的。在前人研究的基础上，本研究对6世纪印度语言哲学家巴特哈里所著的《Vakyapadiya》第二章《自我解说》的文本进行了分析。同时，在对稿件进行校对的同时，尝试通过使用XML标记来制作经过批判性编辑的文本。因此，我得出的结论是，应该在整体语境中理解巴特哈里的“句子意义”理论：整体不是部分的总和，只有在句子(整体)的语境中，一个词(部分)才有它的意义。

This study investigates how linguistic philosophers in ancient Indiaconceived of "Sentence Meaning" through an analysis of Sanskrit texts. Based on my past studies, in this study, I have analyzed the text of the "self-commentary" of the 2nd Chapter of the Vakyapadiya written by Bhartrhari, a linguistic philosopher in 6th Century India. And at the same time, I have tried to make a critically edited text by using XML mark-up while checking the manuscript. Consequently, I have reached the conclusion that Bhartrhari's theory on "Sentence Meaning" should be understood in a holistic context : the whole is not the sum of its parts, and it is only within the context of a sentence (whole) that a word (part) has its meaning.
