Abstract
This article offers an introductory overview of the History of Language Ideas (HLI) in Imperial China, with a focus on its relevance for Latin American scholarship. Chinese metalinguistic thought—spanning from the fall of the Han dynasty to the end of the Em­pire—encompasses enduring concerns about the relationship between names and things, the semantic significance of writing, and the search for correct interpretation of the ca­nonical Zhou texts. While these themes are fundamental to Chinese intellectual history, they remain largely unexplored in Latin American academic circles. By addressing this gap, this article aims to stimulate deeper engagement with Chinese language philosophy in Latin America and to integrate Chinese perspectives into global discourses on the history of linguistic thought. The paper thus contributes to broader efforts within Lat­in American humanities to decentre Eurocentric models and engage more substantively with Asian intellectual traditions.

Title:Latinskoameriške refleksije kitajske zgodovine jezikoslovnih idej : uvod v me­tajezikovno misel v Kitajskem cesarstvu
Abstract:
Prispevek vsebuje uvodni pregled zgodovine jezikoslovnih idej (ZJI) v Kitajskem cesar­stvu, s poudarkom na njenem pomenu za latinskoameriške akademske kroge. Kitajska metajezikovna misel, ki se je oblikovala v obdobju od padca dinastije Han pa vse do konca cesarstva, vključuje kontinuirane razprave o razmerju med imeni in dejanskostmi, o semantičnih pomenih pisave ter o iskanju pravilne razlage klasičnih besedil iz obdobja Zhou. Čeprav so te teme za kitajsko idejno zgodovino temeljne, so v latinskoameriških akademskih krogih večinoma še neraziskane. Prispevek želi zapolniti to vrzel ter v La­tinski Ameriki spodbuditi globlje zanimanje za kitajsko jezikovno filozofijo in tako v globalne razprave o zgodovini jezikoslovne misli vključiti tudi kitajske perspektive. Tako pričujoči članek prispeva k širšim prizadevanjem za dekolonizacijo evrocentričnih mo­delov in za bolj poglobljeno soočenje z azijskimi idejnimi tradicijami v okviru latinsko­ameriške humanistike.

Keywords:zgodovina jezikoslovnih idej, kitajski jezik, kitajska pisava, latinskoameriška sinologija, metajezikovna misel
