摘要：本文以雅克·朗西埃的语言观为切入点，聚焦其所呈现的“非纯粹语言实践”及其潜在的历史性缺失。朗西埃将语言理解为一种实践，强调语言在反映现实处境与扰乱共识秩序中的作用。然而，其理论框架仍主要处于共时视角，较少关注语言实践与具体历史脉络的关联，从而在历史性维度和主体能动性方面显得不足。文章通过系统梳理朗西埃的语言实践观，并结合马克思主义及毛泽东思想中的实践理论，分析其与历史性实践之间的张力与空白。研究指出，非纯粹语言实践不仅揭示了朗西埃语言观在处理语言、主体与现实关系上的局限，也提示语言实践不应仅受制于结构性条件，保持历史性与多样性之间的平衡。这一视角为深入理解语言、主体与历史之间的复杂关系提供了新的理论路径。

Title: Impure Language Practice: The Historical Gap in Rancière’s Conception of Language
Abstract: This paper examines Jacques Rancière’s conception of language, focusing on the “impure language practices” and their underlying historical deficiencies. Rancière understands language as a form of practice, emphasizing its role in reflecting concrete realities and disrupting consensual orders. However, his theoretical framework predominantly operates within a synchronic perspective, paying insufficient attention to the connection between linguistic practice and specific historical contexts, which limits its historical dimension and the agency of the subject. By systematically analyzing Rancière’s theory of language practice and juxtaposing it with Marxist and Maoist conceptions of practice, this study explores the tensions and gaps between Rancièrean language practice and historical reality. The findings suggest that impure language practices not only reveal the limitations of Rancière’s framework in addressing the relationships among language, subject, and reality, but also indicate that linguistic practice should transcend structural constraints and embrace historical specificity and diversity. This perspective offers a novel theoretical pathway for understanding the complex interplay between language, subjectivity, and history.
