论语块结构的习得机制及其认知理据

On Block Learning Mechanism of Language and Its Cognitive Rationale

以乔姆斯基为代表的转换生成语言学理论由于缺乏实证的支持,近年来受到了以经验现实主义哲学为基础的认知语言学派的强有力的质疑和挑战。语言类型学和语言发展心理学的研究和实验表明转换生成语言学关于句法的深层结构和表层结构及其转换规则理论完全可以从语言的象似性和规约性的角度重新加以定义。语言的深层结构呈现出极大的象似性,语言的表层结构体现为规约性。语块化是语言从深层到表层不断运动的必然趋势。人类语言习得的过程是一个语块能力逐步强化的过程。

Due to its lack of empirical support, transformational--generative grammar represented by Chomsky has been challenged by cognitive linguistics which is based on experiential realism philosophy. The study and experiment of language typology and language development psychology indicates that Chomskyan theory of deep structure and surface structure can be redefined from the angle of iconicity and conventionality. Iconicity constitutes the deep structure of language and conventionality characterizes the surface structure. Block process accompanies the movement of language from the deep structure to surface structure. Language acquisition process is a block proficiency acquiring process.
