Skinner's Verbal Behavior (1957) is a comprehensive treatise that deals with most aspects of verbal behavior. However, its treatment of the learning of grammatical behavior has been challenged repeatedly (e.g., Chomsky, 1959). The present paper will attempt to show that the learning of grammar and syntax can be dealt with adequately within a behavior-analytic framework. There is no need to adopt mentalist (or cognitivist) positions or to add mentalist elements to behaviorist theories.
斯金纳的《言语行为》(1957年)是一部全面论述言语行为诸多方面的专著。然而,其对语法行为学习的论述屡遭质疑(例如,乔姆斯基,1959年)。本文将试图表明,在行为分析框架内能够充分探讨语法和句法的学习。无需采用心理主义(或认知主义)立场,也无需在行为主义理论中添加心理主义元素。
