摘要
普遍语法思想具有悠久的认识论渊源。乔姆斯基认为普遍语法是人脑初始状态与生俱来的生物属性,语言研究最终会同主流的自然科学统一融合。本文扼要论述了普遍语法从哲学、心理学到生物遗传与进化三个主要的发展阶段。作者指出普遍语法不仅改变了传统语言研究的范式,其自身也经历了多个范式的转变,当前提出的“唯递归性假设”就是普遍语法在生物遗传与进化研究基础之上的最新进展。
The thought of UG can trace back to a remote epistemological origin. Chomsky believes UG is the innate biological endowment of the human brain and language studies will ultimately be unified with other mainstream sciences. On the basis of the philosophical, psychological, and biological discussions about the three stages of UG developments, the author concludes that UG has not only changed the traditional paradigms of linguistics, but also experienced several paradigms itself, and the current recursion - only hypothesis is the latest development of UG in the biological context.
