摘要
本文旨在讨论古英语结构转型的语言心理原因。在这个结构转型中 ,英语语法由综合形态转化为分析形态。这一转化的结果是英语语法的简化和灵活。引起这一转化的外因是古英语所遇到的特殊历史条件 ,即由诺曼入侵导致的阶级语言现实、英语及使用英语的人民的低下地位、缺乏教育和语法标准规范的状况。内因则是人类语言心理模式 ,即 ,使语法范式尽可能地符合人类思维反映客观存在的语言心理普适特性。
This paper presents a discussion on the psycholinguistic cause of the structural transformation of the grammar of Old English.In this process,English grammar has been transformed from its original synthetic mode to the analytic mode,which has simplified English grammar and made it more flexible.The external cause for this transformation is the unique historical situation Old English encountered,namely,the class language reality resulted from the Norman invasion,the low social status of English and the people who used it,and the absence of education and standard grammar paradigm.The internal cause of it is the law governing the psychological tendency of human language:the universal property of psychology of language that conforms as much as possible the grammar paradigm to the reflection of human mind on the objective existence.
