二、知識點

1.languageisnotanisolatedphenomenon,it'sasocialactivitycarriedoutinacertainsocial

environmentbyhumanbeings.

語言不是一種孤立的現(xiàn)象，而是人類在一定的社會環(huán)境下進行的一種社會活動。

2.幾種觀點和現(xiàn)象的提出者：

⑴瑞士語言學家F.deSaussureF.deSaussure:Langue和parole的區(qū)別

(2)U.S.AlinguistN.Chomsky美國語言學家N.Chomsky

inl950針對Saussure'slangue&parole提出Competence和performance

⑶曾經(jīng)對語言概念下過定義的語言學家

Modemlinguisticsisdescriptive,itsinvestigationsarebasedonauthenticandmainlyspoken

languagedate.現(xiàn)代語言學是描述性的，其研究以確實可靠的、主要以口語形式的資料為基礎(chǔ)。

traditionalgrammarisprescriptive,itisbasedon'high'writtenlanguage.

現(xiàn)代語言學主要是共時性的，重點研究現(xiàn)代語言。除非對語言的各種狀態(tài)都進行成功的研究，

否則很難從歷時性角度對語言進行描述。

GeneralPrinciplesofUniversalGrammar:CaseCondition/口AdjacencyCondition

格條彳牛---anounphrasemusthaveCaseandCaseisassignedbyVorPtotheobjectposition,orby

名詞詞組必須有格，賓語的格是由動詞或介詞決定，而主語的格由助動詞決定。

相鄰條件一acaseassignorandaCaserecipientshouldstayadjacenttoeachother,itexplainswhyno
