析乔姆斯基革命说的合理性——对乔姆斯基和索绪尔语言观的再思考

Analysis to the Rationality of Chomsky Revolution—Rethinking to the Linguistic Views of Chomsky and Saussure

摘要: 在现代语言学研究中，乔姆斯基所著的《句法结构》开启了语言学研究重点自描写到解释的新篇章，部分学者将此次研究方向的转向称为“乔姆斯基革命”，也因此导致了一系列学术纷争。本文通过对照乔姆斯基和索绪尔语言观中研究理念、研究重点和研究内容的异同，回顾二者的语言观，并分析乔姆斯基对索绪尔语言观做出的改进与创新，以此对乔姆斯基革命说的合理性进行辨析。

Abstract: In the study of modern linguistics, Chomsky’s Syntax Structure turned the study of linguistics from the description to the interpretation. Some scholars regard this turning point as “Chomsky Revolution”, which led to a series of academic disputes. By comparing the similarities and differences between the research concepts, research focus and research content in the linguistic view of Chomsky and Saussure, the present research reviews the language views of them, and analyzes Chomsky’s improvement as well as innovation based on Saussure’s achievement, in order to distinguish the rationality of the statement of Chomsky Revolution.
