On the Historical Evolution of Husband and Wife’s Appellation from the Perspective of Culture_英语论文

摘要

文化与语言的关系是局部与整体的辩证统一。它们相互依赖，相互影响。语言作为一种交流沟通的工具，能够表达和传承文化，而文化的发展变化也影响着语言的表达。因此，语言是文化的重要载体，文化对语言具有制约作用。作为人类语言交际中必不可少的一个部分，称谓语在人类的日常交流中扮演着非常重要的角色。

其中，夫妻称谓语是规约夫妻角色的基本手段之一。夫妻称谓随着历史发展变得多种多样，并且蕴含着丰富的社会意义和文化意义。夫妻称谓在历史演变过程中，能反映社会的变革，文化的传承还有伦理道德的发展；在特定的历史阶段，年龄，身份和社会地位等主观因素也会影响夫妻称谓语的选择和使用。

因此深入了解分析解读夫妻称谓的形成，发展，变化及其相关原委具有重要的理论意义和实践意义。不仅有助于加深对语言内部变化的了解，揭示夫妻称谓语发展演变的历史轨迹，帮助我们更好的学习理解传统文化和现代文化对人们的生活和思想的影响，让我们在生活中更好地运用，而且对社会文明发展也具有积极作用。而对在中西方夫妻称谓语异同原因的探究，更能进一步促进了解各国语言和文化的发展，帮助我们更好的了解世界发展。
