內容簡介
In this classic,the world's expert on language and mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language:how it works,how children learn it,how it changes,how the brain computes it,and how it evolved.With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay,Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story:language is a human instinct,wired into our brains by evolution.The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the Linguistics Society of America. This edition includes an update on advances in the science of language since The Language Instinct was first published.

喬姆斯基在闡述自己的理論時,經常喜歡用一個例子:假如火星人造訪地球,他們一定會驚異於地球上所有的人都在說同一種語言。在這個例子中,他想錶明人類所使用的語言盡管紛繁多樣,但卻存在著共同的語法限製。而喬姆斯基認為,這些共同的語法限製,是先天語法結構的反映。

平剋試圖揭示齣隱藏在各種自然語言背後的共有的語法結構,他這部分工作主要在書中的第四章“語言如何運作”中完成。他的論證策略可以歸結如下:首先,他從語言學上一個被普遍承認的原則談起,即“語言可以用有限的中介去做無限的應用”(make infinite use of finite media),這個規則最早由語言學傢洪特提齣。平剋認為,這錶明我們可以用一套規則去翻譯字序和思維之間的關係,而這套規則是“生成語法”(generative grammar)。通過瞭解生成語法,我們就可以知道人是如何造齣句子的。而其中一個生成語法模型被稱為“字串模型”(word-chain model)。平剋指齣瞭字串模型的若乾個睏難,重新提齣瞭樹狀模型。如果樹狀模型成立,則X-bar理論成立,繼而可以得齣所有語言都具有X-bar理論所描述的語法結構。當然,前提是生成語法首先要成立。

再有,字串模型會産生齣不閤文法的單詞串。平剋舉齣瞭一段文字:”House to ask for is to earn our living by working towards a goal for him team in old New York was a wonderful place wasn’t it ever pleasant to talk about and laugh hard when he tells lies he should not tell me the reason why you are in evident.” 很顯然,這段文字盡管詞與詞之間存在很高的轉接或然率,但卻完全不閤文法。
