摘要
乔姆斯基的语言思想建立在理性主义的哲学基础之上,他认为语言研究主要目标可以被归纳为三个问题,即洪堡特问题、柏拉图问题和笛卡尔问题;人类的大脑是一个模块化的系统,普遍语法是人脑初始状态与生俱来的一种生物禀赋,语言研究的发展方向在于探寻其人类语言的生物属性。
Chomsky＇s language design is based on the rationalist philosophy. In his view the principle goals of linguistic research can be summarize as the following three questions, i. e. the Humboldt＇s problem, the Plato＇s problem and Descartes＇ problem. Human mind is a modularized system. Universal grammar is the genetic endowment of the initial state of human brain. The latest development of Chomsky＇s view on language research is focused on the direction of biolinguistics.
