马叙伦“六书二系”说之阐释

Brief Analysis of Ma Xu-lun’s Theory: "Six Scripts but Two parts "

摘要: 马叙伦“六书二系”说以形音义为主线,将“六书”分成形系和声系,形系所属有象形、指事和会意,声系所属有假借、形声和转注。由形系之“文”与声系之“字”组成汉字,构成汉字母子联贯相生,生生不息的孳乳系统。“六书二系”说别出心裁,具有一定的新意,同时他的理论自圆其说,可谓“一家之言”。这是分析他的“六书说”所要掌握的重要部分,也是马氏“六书说”的轴心骨。马氏在当时的历史背景下所提出的“六书二系”说有着明显的进步性,但是文字学理论研究者缺少关注,这与马氏做出的实际贡献极不相称。
