After a difficult initial period in which connectionism was perceived as either irrelevant or antithetical to linguistic theory, connectionist concepts are now beginning to be brought to bear on basic issues concerning the structure, acquisition, and processing of language, both normal and disordered. This article describes some potential points of further contact between connectionism and linguistic theory. I consider how connectionist concepts may be relevant to issues concerning the representation of linguistic knowledge; the role of a priori constraints on acquisition; and the poverty of the stimulus argument. I then discuss whether these models contribute to the development of explanatory theories of language.
在经历了一段艰难的初始阶段后，联结主义起初被认为与语言理论无关或相悖，如今联结主义概念开始被应用于有关正常和紊乱语言的结构、习得及处理的基本问题。本文描述了联结主义与语言理论之间一些可能的进一步联系点。我思考了联结主义概念如何与有关语言知识表征的问题、先天约束在习得中的作用以及刺激匮乏论据相关。然后我讨论了这些模型是否有助于语言解释性理论的发展。
