语言能力天赋论与建构论

乔姆斯基和皮亚杰分别建立了语言能力的天赋论与建构论 ,两者的冲突体现了历史发展的辩证过程。语言能力以先天的生理素质为基础 ,在与环境的相互作用中不断地积极建构而形成。语言能力天赋论与建构论之争反映了历史上唯物主义和唯心主义两大方法论的斗争 ,这种争论不仅使语言学作为一门学科更加向科学化的方向迈进 ,而且为现代语言学研究和外语教学提供了有益的启示

On the Innatism and the Constructionism of Linguistic Capacity

Noam Chomsky and Jean Piaget separately formed the innatism and the constructionism of linguistic capacity, and their disputes presented a dialectical process of history in the development of linguistics. Linguistic capacity is actively constructed through the interaction between the individual and his environment on the basis of the inbred biological devices. The dispute between the constructionism and the innatism of linguistic capacity reflects a dispute between the materialistic and the idealistic methodology, thus enhances the scientization of linguistics, shedding light on linguistic research and foreign language teaching.
