对普遍语法内在先天性的质疑

On the Universal Grammar

乔姆斯基的转换生成语法理论经历了五个阶段的不断修正,最后形成最简方案,认为转换生成语法深层结构高度抽象化的原则与参数就是普遍语法,并肯定普遍语法是人类的先天属性。对此观点,存在着很大的争议。现代科学还没有直接证据证明普遍语法是人类的先天属性。习得机制虽然是人类语言习得的生物基因,但它并不是人类智能意义上的先天属性,与普遍语法有着本质区别。有着高度抽象化原则和参数的普遍语法的先天性是值得怀疑的。

It＇s strongly hold that theuniversal grammar is innate. But this paper has the different view. The language acquisition device is a human biological gene rather than the universal grammar that is interpreted in terms of intelligence, in which principles and and parameters are concerned.
