摘要
本文从语言设计的角度回顾Chomsky的基本语言哲学理念,探讨Chomsky所构想的语言器官的模块性、设计要素、内部架构和运作机制。文章指出Chomsky语言研究的核心是论证他所设想的人脑中专司语言的器官——语言官能,探寻出它的起源、属性、结构、功能和运作机制。Chomsky(2004,2006a,2006b)的目标是超越(语言学研究)的解释充分性:寻找出人体其他器官乃至其他生物体都具有的普遍原则和运作机制。
This paper, from the perspective of language design, reviews philosophical foundations of Chomsky＇ s linguistic theory, and discusses the modularity, design factors, architecture and mechanism of language organ-the Faculty of Language （FL） proposed by Chomsky. It argues that the core of Chomsky＇ s linguistic study is to discover the FL＇ s origin, properties, structure, function and mechanism. Chomsky＇ s （2004, 2006a, 2006b） goal is beyond explanatory adequacy of linguistic study： find out the more general principles and mechanisms that hold for other parts of human body or other organisms.
