是新瓶装旧酒还是创新——论斯金纳《言语行为》中新词的使用

Innovation or“Old Wine in a New Glass”——On the Use of Neologism in Skinner's Verbal Behavior

斯金纳的《言语行为》从功能的视角分析了人类言语行为发生的因果关系,解读书中新词的概念是理解其理论框架的关键。本文结合书评史,分析以乔姆斯基为代表的"反言语行为理论"观点,旨在说明斯金纳借助新词的使用,创新性地分析了日常言语行为,给话语分析以重要启示。

Verbal behavior,from the functional perspective,analyzes the cause-and-effect relations of human verbal behavior,in which the key to understand its theoretical framework is on the use of neologistic terms.Taking it as the point-of-departure,the paper discusses the misunderstandings of Skinner's behavioral theory initiated by Noam Chomsky and points out the great innovation and insightfulness of Skinner's work.
