An important distinction between phonology and syntax has been overlooked. All phonological patterns belong to the regular region of the Chomsky Hierarchy, but not all syntactic patterns do. We argue that the hypothesis that humans employ distinct learning mechanisms for phonology and syntax currently offers the best explanation for this difference.
音系学和句法之间的一个重要区别被忽视了。所有的语音模式都属于乔姆斯基层次结构的规则区域，但并非所有的句法模式都属于规则区域。我们认为，人类使用不同的学习机制来学习音系学和句法的假设，目前为这种差异提供了最好的解释。
