2、尔赫斯弗雷德里克斯金纳所著口语行为的评论，也有助于发动心理学的认知革命，挑战1950年代研究人类行为和语言方式中占主导地位的行为主义。他所采用以自然为本来研究语言的方法也大影响了语言和心智的哲学研究。他的另一大成就是建立了乔姆斯基层级：根据“文法生成力”不同而对形式语言做的分类。正是在此期间，乔姆斯基开始更加公开地参与政治。随着他1967年在纽约书评上发表的一篇题为知识分子的责任的文章，乔姆斯基成为越南战争的主要反对者之一。从那时起，乔姆斯基便因他的政治立场而出名，对世界各地的政局发表评论，并撰写了大量著作。他对美国外交政策及美国权力合法性的批判影响深远，并因而成为富有争议的人物。他有左派的忠

He claims that certain lingu

5、istic structures which children use so accurately must be already imprinted on the childs mind. Chomsky believes that every child has a language acquisition device or LAD which encodes the major principles of a language and its grammatical structures into the childs brain. Children have then only to

6、 learn new vocabulary and apply the syntactic structures from the LAD to form sentences. Chomsky points out that a child could not possibly learn a language through imitation alone because the language spoken around them is highly irregular adults speech is often broken up and even sometimes ungramm

7、atical. Chomskys theory applies to all languages as they all contain nouns, verbs, consonants and vowels and children appear to be hard-wired to acquire the grammar. Every language is extremely complex, often with subtle distinctions which even native speakers are unaware of. However, all children,

Evidence to support Chomskys theoryChildren learning to speak never make grammatical errors such as getting their subjects, verbs and objects in the wrong order. If an adult deliberately said a

9、 grammatically incorrect sentence, the child would notice. Children often say things that are ungrammatical such as mama ball, which they cannot have learnt passively. Mistakes such as I drawed instead of I drew show they are not learning through imitation alone. Chomsky used the sentence colourless

So what doe

16、s this have to do with child language acquisition?David Crystal has the theory that children learn language in five stages, which arent clearly defined and some tie in with each other.These stages are:Stage One:This is where children say things for three purposes:1.To get something they want2.To get

17、 someones attention3.To draw attention to somethingThen they begin to make basic statements such as “daddy car”During this stage children begin naming things with single words and then move on to relating objects with other things, places and people, for example, “there mummy”. They also relate obje

18、cts with events, for example, “bird gone”.At this early stage they dont have much vocabulary so they use intonation to ask a question. Children use words like: “there, want and allgone” to express a full sentence. This could be said that part of this stage is holophrastic.Stage Two:This is when chil

19、dren usually ask questions, “where” questions come first. Their questions often begin with interrogative pronouns (what, where) followed by a noun or verb such as “where gone?”Children become concerned with naming and classifying things by frequently asking “Wassat?” They may also begin to talk abou

20、t the characteristics of things for example: big/small. Children are taught to learn things in opposite pairs such as up/down and hot/cold. Stage Three:By now children would be asking lots of different questions but often signalling that they are questions with intonation alone, for example: “Sally

21、play in garden mummy?” This is made into a question by varying the tone of voice.Children soon begin to express more complex wants by using more grammatically correct language, for example: “I want mummy to take it work” meaning “I want mummy to take it to work” Verbs such as “listen” and “know” are

22、 also used. Children refer to events in the past and less often in the future. They usually talk about continuing action for examples: “she still in bed” and ask about the state of actions (whether something is finished or not)The basic sentence structure has expanded such as: subject+verb+object+ad

23、verb or any other element used Sentences like: “You dry hands” and “A man dig down there” begin to appear and auxiliary verbs are used in sentences such as “I am going” and phrases like “on the table” preposition+article+nounStage Four:This is when children use increasingly complex sentence structur

24、es and begin to:Explain thingsAsk for explanations using the word: “why?”Making a wide range of requests: “shall I do it?”Now they are able to use complex sentence structures they have flexible language tools for expressing a wide range of meanings. Probably the most remarkable development is their

25、comprehension of language and use of abstract verbs for example “know” to express mental operations. They begin to communicate meaning indirectly by replacing imperatives such as “give me” with questions; “can I have?”As well as saying what they mean they now have pragmatic understanding and suit th

26、eir utterances to context or situation. Children also use negation (denial/contradiction) for example: “he doesnt want one!” They dont rely on intonation and signals anymore as they explain more fully.They are now able to use auxiliary verbs and may duplicate modal verbs “please, can I, may I” This

27、could be showing that “may” is required for courtesy whilst “can” indicates being able to do something.And FinallyStage Five:By this stage children regularly use language to do all the things that they need it for. They give information, asking and answering questions, requesting directly and indire

28、ctly, suggesting, offering, stating and expressing.Children are now able to talk about things hypothetically and conditionally for example “If I were you, I would” They are now able to explain conditions required for something to happen; “Youve got turn the tap on first in order to wash your hands”

29、As well as making general references to past and future, children now talk about particular times such as: “after tea” and “before bedtime” By this stage children are very comfortable with all questions beginning with words like: “What?” and “When?” where the subject and verb are reversed such as “w
