Language acquisition

Japanese: 言語獲得 - げんごかくとく(英語表記)language acquisition
Language acquisition
It was Chomsky who claimed that by studying the structure of language (grammar), humans can study the structure of their own brains. Unlike simply describing grammar in an explanatory manner, the goal of generative grammar theory is to find a small number of rules that can generate a huge (theoretically infinite) number of sentences, and then to converge and describe that set of rules into a structure that is as simple and abstract as possible and that can become the basis of all languages. It is believed that the structure ultimately derived, due to its beautiful simplicity and linguistic universality, should correspond to some basic structure at the biological level of the human brain.

Japanese:
言語の構造(文法)を調べることにより,人間は自らの脳の構造を調べることができると主張したのはチョムスキーであった。単に文法を説明的に記述するのと異なり,膨大な(理論的には無数の)数の文を生成できるような,わずかな数の規則を見出すこと,その規則の集合をさらにできるだけ単純で抽象的な,あらゆる言語の基本になるような構造に収束させ記述することが,生成文法理論の目標である。最終的に導き出された構造は,その美しい単純さと言語普遍性とにより,人間の脳の生物学的レベルにおける何らかの基本的な構造と一致するはずだと考えられている。
