论儿童的语用特征

语用学源于哲学和逻辑学 ,研究如何通过语境来理解和使用语言。现代语言学之父 Saussure将人类的语言学习看作是人类一种特有的本能。婴儿怎样从充满各种声音的世界中模仿并学会属于他自己的母语 ,怎样辨别并放弃对交流不起作用的声音符号 ,语境究竟对儿童的语言学习有怎样的影响 ,语用学中的理论观点是否契合儿童稚语 ,不对应的部分又能说明什么……本文试图找到一些有力的证据证明语境对人类语言学习的具体作用。

A Discussion on Children''''s Pragmatic Features

Pragmatics, the study of certain language in certain context, is to examine how to understand and manipulate language. Father of modern linguistics, Saussure, treated language learning as a special ability of human beings. How could a baby select the useful sounds that belong to his mother tongue from the world that is full of all kinds of noises? How could he abandon the useless ones that are not available in communication? What effect on earth the context can make in children's language learning process? Can we apply the theories of the pragmatics to children's language? If not, what does it imply? This article tries to find some evidence to prove the crucial function of context in language learning process.
