Abstract

I focus here on concepts that are not part of core knowledge - the ability to treat people as social agents with shareable mental states. Spelke proposes that learning language from another might account for the development of these concepts. I suggest that homesigners, who create language rather than learn it, may be a potential counterexample to this hypothesis.

学习语言而不是创造语言有多重要？

在此，我将重点放在那些不属于核心知识的概念上，即把人视为具有可共享心理状态的社会主体的能力。斯佩尔克提出，从他人那里学习语言可能是这些概念发展的原因。我认为，创造语言而非学习语言的家庭设计者可能是这一假设的潜在反例。
