摘要
许多语言学家和哲学家认为语言和认知的发展是无意识的;语言决定论者认为不同的语言决定了人们不同的思维方式和世界观。对语言基本事实的考察告诉我们隐喻等有意识的思维活动参与了语言的建构,离开了有意识的思维活动的参与,语言很难发展成为成熟的符号系统。在某种程度上来讲,认知方式和思维方式决定了语言的形式和内容。
Many linguists and philosophers hold the view that the development of human language and cognition is an unconscious process. Linguistic determinism also holds the view that different languages determine different ways of thinking and different world views. The surveys of many language facts reveal that much conscious thoughts such as metaphors have been involved in the constructions of languages. Without the contribution of conscious thoughts, it is very hard for language to develop into mature symbolic systems. In more than one sense, it is the cognitive mode that determines the content and the form of language.
