王夫之（1619-1692）為清初思想大家，《說文廣義》是其語言文字學類唯一之著作，內容雖是補《說文》之所未備，闡明文字之用，同時亦展現出對於漢字文化思想之看法。王氏從對於字詞本義的解讀，顯露出其深厚的人文涵養。對於民眾詞語的使用，特別是尊卑及親屬之稱，有所不滿，以為若名實不符，會造成尊卑、親疏之不明，如此則社會及國家容易混亂，故藉由文字考證，試圖導正此種現象。再者，王氏對於時人字詞運用，雜入佛教等夷族詞語，特別予以指正，這在當時清代入主中原之際，表現出強烈的民族主義精神。《說文廣義》以《說文》本義為依據，試圖說明語詞的正確用法，有著強調純正漢語，不容流俗及異族亂我文化之心志，也因此王夫之雖擅長思想義理之研究，卻撰作小學類之著作，其用意或許與此有關。
