美国哲学家戴维森（Donald，Davidson）在《悼文的奇妙混乱》挑战了语言哲学家们对如英语、德语这样的语言的一个普遍接受的假设，即对任意一门语言都存在有一套相应的规则去解析这门语言的意义。他认为并不存在有规定语言意义的普遍规则。由此，甚至不存在有任何一门一致的语言，更不用说有关它意义的理论。本文的主要任务就是介绍和解释戴维森在这一文章中的论证。首先本文将简要论述戴维森提出这一论题的语言哲学背景和其依赖的语言现象；然后本文将具体展开对其论证的分析；最后本文将对其理论做出评价。

In A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs,Davidson,rather astonishingly,challenges a putative assumption concerning human language.Namely,for any language,such as English,German,there are rules stipulating what counts as this language and how to use it appropriately.According to Davidson,this assumption is not true.Instead there are no such general rules which could govern all the language use in different occasions.That is to say,there is no such thing as a uniform language,not to mention a theory of meaning for such a language.In what follows,I shall first introduce the background of Davidson’s problem,and then review Davidson’s chief thesis and the argument for it. My own thoughts on this paper will appear after the review.
