伐致呵利
没有语言就没有思想,而意义是一下子作为整体被把握的,而不是一个词一个词地积累起来的。

语法学家兼哲学家:没有任何认知不与语言交织在一起;终极实在是词梵(shabdabrahman),而意义是整体地闪现出来的(常声,sphota)。

Abhinavagupta, following Utpaladeva, adopted Bhartrhari’s view that awareness is inwardly permeated by language and made supreme speech an aspect of consciousness itself. R.

Kumarila rejected Bhartrhari’s sphota, a partless word-whole beyond the sounds, holding that the sequence of phonemes itself conveys meaning (Shlokavarttika, Sphotavada). Kumārila, Ślokavārttika, Sphoṭavāda; H. Coward & K. K. Raja (eds.), Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies V, 1990

论句子与词:意义是作为不可分的整体被把握的,而一切认知都与语言交织在一起。
立场
In the Vakyapadiya (“On Sentence and Word”) Bhartrhari turned grammar into philosophy. The ultimate reality is the Word-principle (shabdabrahman), without beginning or end, from which the world appears to unfold. No cognition occurs without language: all knowing is, as it were, shot through with words. Meaning is not assembled from sounds or words; it flashes forth as an indivisible whole (sphota), manifested by the sounds. The sentence, not the word, is the primary unit of meaning, grasped in a sudden insight (pratibha). Dignaga engaged with his ideas; Kumarila Bhatta attacked the sphota theory; and the Kashmiri Shaivism of Abhinavagupta absorbed his view of consciousness as inwardly linguistic.
生平与背景
Bhartrhari, grammarian and philosopher of language, probably lived in the 5th century CE, since the Buddhist Dignaga already quotes him. The Chinese pilgrim Yijing mentions a grammarian of this name who died around 650, which long led to a later dating. Later tradition names Vasurata as his teacher and identifies him with the poet of the “Three Centuries” of verses – an identity many scholars doubt.
