Abstract:

文章回顾了国外基于生成语法的二语习得研究的进展，分析了其最新研究走势。研究指出，基于生成语法的二语习得研究已经走上跨学科的发展道路，运用神经科学手段探寻语言习得的神经机制，有助于最终解释人类语言习得的本质。文章提出开展基于生成语法理论的中国人习得二语的神经语言学研究。
This paper reviews the development of generative L2 acquisition research, and analyzes the new advancement of it. The study demonstrates that the generative L2 acquisition is on the way of in-terdisciplinary study, using the neuro-scientific technologies to seek the neural mechanisms of language acquisition, which will eventually help to interpret the question that “how the language is acquired”. This paper proposes that we should develop the study of Chinese’ L2 acquisition in the perspective of neuro-linguistics with the generative grammar as the guideline.
