西方诗经学中的创作年代之辨

西方诗经学经历了传播、译介、研究3个阶段,在第三阶段,各种西方文学批评流派将其理论运用于《诗经》研究,取得了不少成果。加拿大学者多布森将语言学运用于《诗经》创作年代的考证,结论与我国传统诗经学关于其创作年代的考证基本一致。而美籍华裔王靖献运用套语理论对《诗经》进行数据分析,对多布森的《诗经》创作年代的＂连续阶段＂提出疑问,争论的焦点是4个连续阶段的过渡时间问题。

Debate on the dating of the composition of the Book of Poetry

The western studies on the Book of Poetry have experienced three stages： transmission,interpretation and research.At the third stage,a variety of western literary theories are employed in the research of the work and quite a few achievements have been made.The Canadian scholar,W·A·C·H·Doboson,applies linguistics in the dating of the composition and reaches similar conclu-sion to the Chinese traditional studies on the Book of Poetry.However,the American Chinese,C.H.Wang,applies the theory of formula in the dating and questions the validity of Dobson’s the-ory—a series of periods which he calls＂successive stages＂.
