英译术语:

semantogram

汉语语境:

王筠是清代乾嘉时期朴学大师中唯一对汉字进行纯文字学研究的学者。他在表意字研究方面取得一定的成绩，主要得益于对《说文》的深刻研究、对汉字发展规律的认识和善于利用多种材料和方法。失误的原因则是因为拘泥于《说文》成说，对汉字的性质和发展规律认识不够深入，不能科学的分析和利用金石文字材料。

英译术语:

ideogram

汉语语境:

表意字是字符表达一定意义的文字。它所表达的意义主要有字符所表达的字义, 文字所记录的相应语言单位 (词或语素) 的语义和字义与所记录的词义 (或语素义 ) 之间的关系———造字理据义。其中, 语义是表意字意义的核心, 是文字的本质。把文字与图符区别开来, 强调表意字的表达功能, 可以避免把文字当语言、把字义当词义、把末流当主流等不恰当释字, 进而正确进行古文字考释。

英语语境:

Ideograms are characters that convey certain meanings, including: a) the meaning carried by the character itself; b) the meaning of language units (i. e. , a word or a morpheme) that are encoded by the character; and c) the semantic relationship between the first two kinds of meanings—— the denotative meaning assigned to the coined words. Among the three kinds of meanings, the meaning encoded by the characters is the core component of the semantics of the ideograms, the essential of characters. The paper distinguishes characters and pictographic symbols, and highlights the ideational functions of the ideograms. This helps researchers to differentiate written characters from parole, the meaning of characters from the meaning of phrases so that they can interpret the ancient writing in a correct way.
