物质基础与精神文化——关于语言本质问题的探讨

Material Foundation and Spiritual Culture——A discussion on the essence of language

西方语言学历史发展中的外因理论与内因理论既对立又统一。语言习得的差异性与生物基础的差异性有关系。语言本质上是内在的生物基础与外在的语言影响相互作用的结果。

The external cause theories and the internal cause theories, in the historical development of western linguistics, both oppose and integrate with each other. The difference of language acquisition relates to the distinction of biological foundation. In essence, language results from the interaction of both the internal biological foundation and the external influence of language.
