摘要: 生成语法自20世纪50年代由乔姆斯基提出以来，大致经历了四个发展阶段：产生和初步发展时期、修正期、快速发展时期和发展新时期，并先后出现了：早期理论、标准理论、扩展标准理论、管辖和约束理论以及最简方案。在发展过程中，语法受到来自各个领域的质疑，但也被运用于语音、语义、语言习得等多个方面，同时还和心理学、哲学、计算机、人工智能等多领域融合。在大语言模型崛起的背景下，厘清生成语法的发展脉络，反思面临的机遇和挑战，能够推动生成语法在更广泛领域的创新与发展。
Abstract: Since its inception by Chomsky in the 1950s, generative grammar has evolved through four developmental stages: emergence and initial development, revision, rapid development, and new development, and has successively emerged early theories, Standard Theory, Extended Standard Theory, Government and Binding Theory, and Minimalist Program. In the process of development, grammar has been questioned from various fields, but it has also been applied to multiple aspects such as phonetics, semantics, and language acquisition. At the same time, it has integrated with psychology, philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence, and other fields. Against the backdrop of the rise of large language models, clarifying the development trajectory of generative grammar and reflecting on the opportunities and challenges it faces can promote innovation and development of generative grammar in a wider range of fields.
