摘要

关键期假说(CPH)作为对语言学习的年龄效应的解释,一直是第二语言习得(SLA)领域争论的焦点。尽管这一假说认为成人语言学习受到大脑生物学或成熟变化的制约,但它是以埃里克-伦纳伯格的研究成果(即《语言的生物学基础》,1967 年)为基础的,并不反映伦纳伯格最初的语言生物学理论。本文在全面回顾伦纳伯格的工作和相关学科的基础上,对 CPH 进行了研究。通过概述伦纳伯格在语言发展中的表观成因概念,本文认为,必须重新评估 "伦纳伯格的表观成因 "对关键期概念的解释,这一解释长期以来歪曲了关于 SLA 中年龄效应的争论,任何关于 "伦纳伯格的表观成因 "的提法都可以--而且应该--放弃。

Reconceptualizing the critical period hypothesis for second language acquisition: An appraisal of Lenneberg's work on the epigenesis of language

The critical period hypothesis (CPH) as an explanation of age effects on language learning has been a perennial source of contention in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). Although this hypothesis – which suggests that adult language learning is constrained by biological or maturational changes in the brain – has been based on the work of Eric Lenneberg (i.e. Biological Foundations of Language, 1967), it does not reflect Lenneberg's original biological theory of language. In this paper, the CPH is examined in light of a comprehensive review of Lenneberg's work and related disciplines. By outlining Lenneberg's notion of epigenesis in language development, it is argued that the CPH interpretation of the critical period notion that has long skewed the debate over age effects in SLA must be re-evaluated, and that any reference to “Lenneberg's CPH” can – and should – be abandoned.

期刊介绍: Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
