有关儿童为什么在短时间就掌握语言系统,科学家们的研究理论主要有两类:一类侧重外部条件,认为主要依靠后天的环境和教育条件;一类侧重内部条件,强调主要由先天的生理条件和大脑的遗传机制决定的。本文主要介绍儿童语言习得机制的相关理论,阐释儿童语言能力获得的条件与语言发展过程。

Many scientists have done much research work on why children can grasp the language system in a short time and mainly they have obtained two theories： one lays particular emphasis on the external conditions, believing that children grasp the language system by depending on the postnatal education and environment, and the other one lays particular emphasis on internal conditions, emphasizing that children＇s speech is mainly decided by the inborn physiological conditions and the brain＇s heredity mechanism. This essay is to introduce some related theories and discuss the conditions of how children acquire their speech capacity and their language developing process.
