语言理论与实践的融合——涌现主义语言观

To Integrate Languistic Theories and Practice:the Emergentist Approach

涌现主义否认先天语法原则的存在,主张通过一般的认知与学习机制等非语言因素及其交互来理解语言现象。这一理论视角有利于摆正语言理论与语言事实的关系,促使语言理论研究与习得研究的有机协调发展。

Emergentism denies the existence of inborn grammatical principles and claims that language phenomena can be best understood by reference to more basic non-linguistic factors such as the general cognitiw; and learning mechanisms and their interaction. This new theoretical perspective can help us to adjust the relationship between languistic theories and practice, thus promoting a coordinated development of the study of Linguistic theories and language acquisition.
