摘要
语言、思维与文化关系之辩是久富争议的哲学论题,曾一度在语言相对论的推动下达到顶峰,后又在普遍语法理论的强势兴起下陷入沉寂。20世纪90年代以来,基于语言类型学的跨语言对比研究为这一论题提供了新的证据,使之以"新沃尔夫主义"的崭新面貌重回公众视野。在语言类型学视野下,本文将重点围绕普遍认知与即时思维之争、普遍语法与双轨进化之争这两大关键问题展开深入探讨,对语言、思维与文化之间的关系作出新的求索和解读。基于语言类型学的新沃尔夫主义向我们揭示:不同的语言类型本身蕴涵着不同的文化模式和思维方式,这对加深人类自我认识、丰富语言学理论以及推动二语习得研究都具有重要的启示。
The debate over the relationship between language, thought and culture once reached a crest spurred by the Hypothesis of Linguistic Relativity. With the rise of Chomsky＇s Universal Grammar, however, Hypothesis of Linguistic Relativity fell into decline. Since 1990s,a number of cross-linguistic studies based on linguistic typology have shed new light on this controversial issue and eventually led to the emergence of Neo-Whorfism. By focusing on an in-depth exploration of the issue of general cognition versus on-line thinking, and Universal Grammar versus Bio-cuhural Hybrid, this paper intends to make a new interpretation on the relationship between language,thought and culture. It is revealed succinctly that any language of certain linguistic type entails a distinctive mode of thought and pattern of culture. This enlightenment contributes considerably to deepening the self-knowledge of human being, enriching theories of linguistics, and promoting the research of second language acquisition.
