从语言和思维的关系角度探究二语习得

Exploring Second Language Acquisition from the Relationship of Language and Thinking

语言是思维的工具之一,语言思维是人类借助语言这种工具进行思维的一种心理现象,它是最主要和最成熟的思维形式。语言和思维关系密切,相互影响,语言影响思维,思维也反过来影响语言。所以研究语言必须研究思维,而研究思维也必须借助研究语言来进行。学习语言就是发展思维,语言学习过程就是发展思维的过程;同时,语言思维过程就是语言运用过程,为了发展思维就必须学习语言。通过研究语言和思维的关系以及语言思维的过程,论证了思维发展和语言习得的相互作用,以期对二语习得尤其是词汇习得带来启示。

Language is one of the tools ofthinking. Lingual thinking refers to the psychological phenomenon in which people think by means of words, which is the main and the most mature form of thinking. Language and thinking are closely bound to and affect each other, so the study of them is mutually dependent. Learning language is to develop one＇ s thinking and in order to develop thinking one must learn language. By studying the relationship between language and thinking as well as the process of lingual thinking, this paper demonstrates that learning language and developing thinking facilitates each other, which is expected to bring some implications for second language acquisition especially the acquisition of vocabulary.
