摘要
The Principles-and-Parameters framework, the essential construct of the Generative Grammar, is endowed with new interpretation in the current Minimalist Program of biolinguistic paradigm, about which scholars have different views. From the illustration of the relation between the logical problem of language acquisition and parameters to the examination of different proposals for parameter-setting, the theoretical and empirical consideration of the status of parameters rams out to be clear. Meanwhile, along with the re-pondering of Principles in the current syntax theory, an integrative project for parameter-setting is put forward tentatively in terms of language acquisition, with reference to the theoretical achievements and tendencies in the current biolinguistic framework.
