语言表征的神经生物学理论

The Neurobiological Theory of Language Representation

神经科学家F.Pulvermüller根据Hebb的“细胞群集”学说和相关性学习原理构建的“语言表征的神经生物学理论”首次试图基于皮层功能网络来解释语音、词汇和句法在大脑皮层的表征机制,不仅能较好地描述语言活动中经典语言脑区与其它参与活动脑区的相互关系,也对语言加工的大脑功能偏侧化与整合现象作了合适的说明。本文介绍了这一理论的主要观点和研究资料,并提出了一些尚需进一步研究的问题。

On the basis of Hebb＇s doctrine of ＂cell assembly＂ and the principle of correlation learning, F. Pulvermiiller, a neuroscientist, founded the ＂neurobiological theory of language representation＂ and attempted to explain the processing of sounds, words and syntax using the functional cortex webs for the first time. It leads not only to a better description of the relationship among the classical language areas and other activated areas, but also to a preferable explanation for the cerebral functional laterality and integration. This article introduced the main arguments and studies about this theory and proposed some issues for further research.
