在《编辑界说之比较》、《编辑特征与编辑区分》二文中,本文作者已经论定编辑的特征就是“收集材料、整理成书”从这个意义上说来,编辑是一个客观存在的事物,一个具有特定结构与功能的整体,理应成为编辑学的研究对象。在编辑学建设中,整体地认识和对待研究对象,有可能帮助我们解决一些学科基本问题,从而为编辑学的发展奠定牢固的根基。 In the “editorial comparison,” “editorial characteristics and editing distinction” two articles, the author of this paper has decided that the editing feature is “to collect materials, collated into a book” In this sense, editing is an objective reality, A whole with a specific structure and function should be the subject of editorial study. In the process of editorial construction, knowing and treating the research object as a whole may help us to solve some basic problems of the discipline, so as to lay a solid foundation for the development of editorial education.
