讲座题目:The Growth of Children’s Syntax 儿童句法结构的生长
讲座摘要:
In this talk I argue that interactional and pointing capacities constitute the biological basis of our linguistic intelligence, and that interactional and pointing capacities are regulated by our syntactic mind. I further claim that children are born with interactional and pointing capacities which constitute the biological basis for the development of syntactic projections labeled as CP and VP, which emerge at their later stage of language development. Evidence will be given to show that children have a syntactic mind before speech, and that pointing by children may be analyzed into complex structures which correspond to the decomposed VP. Further evidence will be given to show that children’s acquisition of syntax is determined by a biological program which regulates its growth from the two opposing ends of syntactic structures, i.e., CP and VP, as predicted by the Bidirectional Growth Model of Child Language Acquisition proposed by Hu 2016.
