复杂动态系统理论:对二语习得研究的反思

Complex Dynamic Systems Theory:A Reflection on Second Language Acquisition Research

复杂动态系统理论是二语习得研究界的最新理论。本文从二语习得研究中的五大争论出发,对该理论进行全面、系统论述。该理论从核心术语、研究对象、语言子系统的关系、情境和大脑认知机制关系以及研究方法五个方面对二语习得研究进行了反思。此外,本文借助当代哲学家Edgar Morin的学说,从新的视角来理解二语习得学界的五大争论。

The complex dynamic systems theory is a newly established theory and has attracted more people＇s attention in SLA research in recent years. This paper aims to demon- strate the theory by considering the general issues in SLA. It states that complex dynamic systems theory enables us to rethink the SLA research from the following five perspectives： the core concept, research subjects, the interaction of language subsystems, the relationship between environment and cognition mechanism and methodology. Furthermore, the claims of philosopher Edgar Morin are introduced in order to obtain a better understanding of the five issues in SLA research.
