摘要
在语法结构的形成机制上,生成语言学和认知语言学之间存在着根本的分歧:生成语言学认为语法的表层形式是“生成的”,即由潜在的形式经过一定的规则而表现出来的,语法是由多种层级构成的;认知语言学则认为语法结构是由更小的单位“合成的”,语法是单层的。本文将从认知心理学和我们长期以来对语言的研究来论证,合成说比较符合语法的本质,而生成说则存在着严重的缺陷。本文的分析不仅对具体语言现象的研究具有指导意义,而且有助于新的理论语言学的建设。
Generative linguistics claims that grammar is generative, that surface structure is generated from several underlying levels via certain rules, and that grammar is of multiple-strata. In contrast, cognitive linguistics argues that grammatical structure is by nature symbolic, and it is integration of basic or smaller units, and that grammar is of mono-stratum. By appealing to the evidence of cognitive psychology and synchronic and diachronic characteristics of grammar, the present analysis demonstrates that the cognitive view is justifiable whereas the generative view is not. Research in this line has both theoretical and practical implications.
