在学术研究自觉推动语言学科发展与社会功能互动共进的今天，修辞学科建设的顶层设计如何确立?修辞学本体研究与实践分析如何合理布局?修辞学理论核心的修辞能力研究应该如何整合古今中外语言资源，提升作为交际工具、思维工具、情感工具以服务学科、社会和国家的功能?这是以修辞能力研究为核心论题引发的系列问题，也是修辞学研究面临的学科本源与社会发展的关系问题。本文以梁启超关于“学”与“术”的辩证思想为指导，从“学”的角度探寻修辞能力范畴理论之“体”——学理原则；从“术”的角度探求研究范式实施修辞能力之“用”——建构修辞意义以拓展服务功能。基于此阐释修辞能力范畴体系呈现的体用关系，进而回答上述关于学科本源和社会发展的系列问题。

Today,as academic research consciously promotes the interactive and progressive development of language disciplines and their social functions,how should the top-level design for the construction of rhetoric as a discipline be established?How should the ontological research and practical application of rhetoric be rationally arranged?How should the research on rhetorical competence,which is at the core of rhetorical theory,integrate ancient and modern,Chinese and Western linguistic resources to enhance its functions as a tool for communication,thinking,and emotion expression,so as to serve the discipline,society,and the country?These are a series of questions raised with the research on rhetorical competence as the core topic,and they also reflect the relationship between the disciplinary origin and social development that rhetorical studies are facing.Guided by Liang Qichao’s dialectical thought on “academics” that,this paper explores,from the perspective of “learning”,the“essence”of the theory of rhetorical competence category—the academic principles;from the perspective of “techniques”,it probes into the “application”of implementing rhetorical competence in research paradigms—the construction of rhetorical meanings to expand service functions.Based on this,it explains the essence-application relationship presented in the category system of rhetorical competence,and further answers the aforementioned series of questions concerning the disciplinary origin and social development.
