文体学和语言学研究中的形式主义——评Chomsky的“最简”说和Jakobson的“投射”说

Formalism in the Study of Stylistics and Linguistics ——On Jakobson's Poetic Features and Chomsky's Minimalist Program

本文从理想化的角度讨论了文体学中 Jakobson的诗学特征和语言学中以 Chomsky为代表的形式主义 ;认为文体学和语言学研究虽然不在同一层次上 ,但 Jakobson和 Chomsky的思想却是典型的形式主义。形式主义研究是整个语言研究和文体研究中不可缺少的一部分 ,与其他流派相互补充。本文同时也批评了对形式主义的一些片面、狭隘的理解。

This article aims to discuss the formalist nature of Jakobson's poetic features in stylistic study and Chomsky's minimalist program in linguistic study. Stylistics, a branch of linguistics, is not on the same level as the study of linguistics, but Jakobson and Chomsky do share something in common in their respective theory. Formalist study is an indispensable part which acts as a complementary role with other branches or schools of linguistic research from the overall point of view. In this article is also supplied the criticism to those who misunderstand the goal of formalist research.
