摘要
乔姆斯基认为:具有语言能力就是心智处于某种状态。更准确地说,是天赋的语言机能在接触到后天的经验语料之后通过设定参数所达致的稳定状态,这个稳定状态内部表征了一个句法规则系统,它们是说话者"知道"的语言知识。此论文首先将致力于阐明,认为语言知识是一个句法规则系统,乔姆斯基的这一论点存在哪些困难;其次,文章还将论证这一主张——乔姆斯基意义上的句法规则系统不是说话者知道的全部语言知识,也不可能充分刻画说话者具有的语言能力。
From Chomskys perspective of view： To know a language is for one＇s language processing to employ an internally represented gener- ative grammar of the language. The set of syntactic rules, represented in the steady state of the language faculty of a competent speaker, is the speaker＇s knowledge of language. Speaker＇s knowledge of language is a set of syntactic rules, this is the very claim I will examine in this paper. First, this paper clarifies some difficulties which Chomsky＇s claim have to deal with; then, I will argue for this point, a set of syntactic rules can ＂t be an adequate description of speaker＇s linguistic competence.
