摘要
语言获得是先天的还是后天的，一直是当代西方心灵哲学特别是语言哲学中争论的热点问题。现代唯理论与经验论为此展开了一场激烈的论战，甚至公开辩论。从乔姆斯基的“普遍语法”、平克的“语言本能”到福多的思维语言假说和心理模块性论证，无疑引起了语言学一场翻天覆地的革命，成为人类文化文明研究的新视角。
Nature vs nurture in human language acquisition has always been debated in the contemporary philosophy of mind especially linguistic philosophy. There are arguments even open debates for this topic between rationalism and empiricism lately. N. Chomsky＇s universal grammar, Pinker＇s the language instinct and J. Fodor＇s the language of thought hypothesis and modularity of mind provide powerful proof for linguistic nativism and offer new research perspectives for human cultural civilization.
