摘要
Stroik&Putnam的新作《语言的结构设计》继承和发展了他们多年来探索的存活最简句法(survival minimalism),颠覆了Chomsky关于语言结构的设计。该书从概念必要性出发,主张狭义句法(包括词库、词汇序列、计算系统)内嵌于应用系统之中。这种新型的语言结构观为语言起源和习得提供了激进而新颖的见解。该书主要包括3项内容:1)以生物和物理法则为基础,为人类语言设计了新的结构;2)探索了语言演变和进化生物学之间的联系;3)利用存活最简句法为附加/修饰结构和并列结构提供了全新的分析。
In The Structural Design of Language,Stroik & Putnam develop their survival minimalism,arguing that the narrow syntax must reside,for reasons of conceptual necessity,within the performance systems.As simple as this novel design is,it provides radical new insights into what the human language faculty is,how language emerged in the species,and how language is acquired by children.Specifically,this book(ⅰ) proposes a new structural design for human language,which is grounded in biological and physical laws;(ⅱ) investigates the connections between the evolution of language and evolutionary biology;(ⅲ) provides novel structural analyses of the complex adjunction and conjunction constructions.
