布迪厄在批判传统语言学理论基础上,指出应该从外部条件而非语言形式内部来理解述行句的意义。并不存在普遍的语言实践,但是存在着合法语言,其合法性是由国家体制担保的。理解语言实践,必须既要考虑社会行动者的语言习性及其所拥有的语言资本,也应该考虑行动者所置身其中的语言市场。惟有综观此三者的互动关系,话语分析才具有有效性。语言市场具有各种形式的权力关系。命名可以生产建构世界的符号权力。对布迪厄的语言理论具有进一步批判性思考的可能性。
based on the critics of tradition linguistic theories,Bourdieu pointed out that it should be not-ed from the external conditions rather than internal form of language to understand the significance of per- formative sentences. There is no universal language practice, but there is a legitimate language guaranteed by the state system. To understand language practice, we must not only consider the language habits of so- cial actors and their own language capital, but also consider the language market among the actors. Only through a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between the three factors is the discourse analysis ef- fective. Language market has various forms of power relations. Naming can produce the symbolic power of the world. Thus,Bourdieu's theory of language is worthy of further critical exoloration.
