《詩經》疑難詞語辨析（2）

Probing Hard-to-Crack Words in the Book of Ode (2)

本文為繼〈詩經疑難詞語辨析〉(1)之後，再考辨《詩經》中疑難詞語「誰謂雀無角」等十則，廣泛蒐集歷代重要注家訓解，辨析優缺得失，其中涉及為《詩經》詞語訓解過程中所面臨之各種問題，如字形、讀音、異文、構詞、句法、單音詞多義、改讀通假、辨別實虛、名物古今認知、詩文寫作興到與目驗、興語如何立象以見義等等複雜問題，試圖從紛紜歧見中提出接近詩義之訓解。

Following “Probing Hard-to-Crack Words in the Book of Ode (1),” this study continues the same job by explicating another 10 difficult items, including “who says that birds are hornless,” from the Book of Ode. The author sets forth a wide research on the long tradition of philological scholarship of the Book of Ode, carefully evaluating explanatory notes and commentaries by authoritative commentators from different historical periods. The practice tackles the form and pronunciation of the scripts, the variation of word configuration and compound construction, analyzing syntax, the polysemy of monosyllabic words, tracking the change of pronunciation of universal words, and figuring out the distinction between lexemes and function words. The article also deals with problems regarding traditional and modern biological naming and that of man-made things, pondering on literary issues such as whether writing is based upon affection or observation and how affection leads to image and meaning in turn. All these deliberations intend to provide a reading close to the original meanings in this classical text.
