摘要/Abstract

摘要： 科学精神发轫于自然科学,对于语言学来说也是适用的,至少在当代形式句法学派看来如此。语言研究中科学精神的实质在于坚持人类语言的共性,表面纷繁复杂的殊性背后存在归一律(uniformity)。本土化是在坚持科学精神的前提下对于个体语言殊性的一种突显。在语言研究中,科学精神和本土意识可谓一体两面。文章所讨论的两个经典案例阐释了这一点。案例一涉及汉英疑问词位置差异,通过显性与隐性移位显示汉英疑问词的共性与殊性;案例二探析汉语方言系词句的异同,发现汉语南北方言系词句对不同类型空语类的接受度有同有异。总之,在对人类语言的研究中应该将外来理论与本土语言事实结合起来,避免削足适履和自说自话两种倾向。

Abstract: Scientific spirit, originated in natural science, is also applicable to linguistics. Inviews of contemporary syntactic researchers, the essence of scientific spirit lies in the factthat natural languages share some universalities behind their complexities. Localization, on the other hand, tries to focus on the particularity of a language. Scientific spirit and localization, just like two sides of a coin, is well interpreted in two typical cases. Wh-words movement gives one case and Copular sentences between Chinese dialects give the other. In linguistic research, both scientific spirit and localization are both essential that prevents a practice of cutting the foot to fit the shoe and a one-way conversation.

Key words: scientific spirit, localization, uniformity, linguistic research, wh-word movement, copula
