- 中文摘要: 在認知心理學中,傳統的看法僅把個人經驗當作建立通則的原料,並不加以重視。然而最近的研究顯示,個人經驗事實上在認知裡扮演著極重要的角色。本論文試圖將此一觀點納入普遍語法的研究中,尤其是零主語現象的研究。此論文保留了普遍語法標準觀念中不變的部份以及允許變化的部份(即,參數),但排除了抽象的參數值,以有利於已儲存的經驗,或 instances。這個方法應用在零主語產生的問題及其學得上,可解釋標準語言學所無法應付的部份,並同時保留了那些理論所提供的主要觀念。
- 英文摘要: In cognitive psychology, the traditional view of individual experiences is that they have little significance beyondserving as the raw material for generalizations. Recent research suggests, however, that individual experiences, storedas such, actually play a prominent role in cognition. This paper seeks to incorporate this insight in the study of UniversalGrammar, specifically, in the study of the null subject phenomenon. The proposal retains standard ideas about the in-variant aspects of Universal Grammar and the areas in which variability is allowed (i.e., parameters), but eliminates ab-stract parameter values in favor of pools of stored experiences, or instances. This approach, applied to the problem ofnull subjects and their acquisition, can explain some characteristics of the phenomenon that are awkward for standardlinguistic theories, while retaining the major insights those theories have provided.
