“陈望道同志在他的大半生中,辛勤劳动,刻苦钻研,呕心沥血,同语文工作中的教条主义,复古主义,崇外主义进行不懈的斗争,从而初步建立了中国语文科学的完整体系.”这是胡愈之先生在《陈望道文集》的《序言》中的一段话.要认识陈望道先生对我国语文事业所作的卓越贡献,应当读一读最近出版的《陈望道语文论集》(上海教育出版社出版,以下简称《论集》). During most of his life, Comrade Chen Wangdao worked hard, studied painstakingly, worked tirelessly with dogmatism, retroism and extrinsicism in his Chinese work, thus initially establishing a complete system of Chinese language science. This is a passage from Mr. Hu Yuzhi’s “Preface” to the “Collection of Chen Wangdao.” To understand Mr. Chen’s excellent contribution to the cause of our country’s language, he should read the recently published “Collection of Chinese Papers Published on Chen Wangdao” (Shanghai Education Press, hereinafter referred to as “theory”).
