关于语言解释理论的再思考

语言可以从两个层面来理解，一是作为人类特有的和在进化中产生的一种物种特征或者说一种能力，可以称为内在语言；一是作为人类社会生活形态的产物，属于人类内在语言的开发和利用，可以称为外在语言。从儿童语言获得的立场看，个人外在语言表现为个人内在语言通过经验触发而直接形成；而从成年人语言获得的立场看，个人外在语言则表现为个人内在语言受到抑制，同时排除先已获得的作为第一语言的外在语言的干扰而形成。

More on the Explanatory Theory of Language

Language can be comprehended from two layers. On the one hand, as a unique physiological feature or the ability of human beings developed from the evolution, it can be called the internal language. On the other hand, language is a product of the patterns of human society. It is the exploration and utilization of the internal language of human beings. Therefore, in this sense, it can be regarded as the external language. From the point of view of children's language acquisition. One's external language is formed directly from the trigger of his internal language through experience in social external language; from the point of view of adults' language acquisition or the so called the second language acquisition. One's external language is formed by the inhibition of his internal language and the interference from the external language of the first language he has already acquired. As a result, its acquisition quality is obviously inferior to that of the children's.
