心靈主義理論認為學習者的語言知識是一個不斷向目的語方向改進的內在係統.成人習得第二語言的序列與兒童是相同的,但是由於成人有自身的特點,習得的順序與兒童習得的順序是不同的.成人能夠較兒童進行更為複雜更為抽象的思維,而且具有第一語言知識及習得第一語言的技巧.因此,成人似乎應該比兒童更容易更迅速習得語言.然而,由於情感等因素,成人習得第二語言的成就往往不及兒童.基於該理論,本文提出成人英語教學若幹建議.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The behaviorist theory of language and language learning fails to account for the innovative and creative nature of language use, phenomena that the mentalists claim they can account for. Language, the mentalists say, is internal, rule-governed, and abstract. The human organism has an innate predisposition toward language acquisition, being in a sense programmed for language. This predisposition accounts for the rapidity and uniformity with which the child learns his native language. The organism\'s innate ability to process language input gradually deteriorates and seems to be totally inoperative by the time that physical maturity is reached. In terms of second language acquisition, the mentalist theory invites revaluation of present classroom procedures and materials. Specifically, greater emphasis needs to be put on the student\'s competence as opposed to his performance.
文章基於經驗主義、心靈主義哲學,探討語言共性和個性;通過對比經驗主義與心靈主義,闡明語言共性的內容及證據以及語言共性和個性的辯證關係.結論是:經驗主義和心靈主義都不是語言理論得以建立的完美的哲學基礎,在語言實踐中,經驗主義繼續得到廣泛應用,而心靈主義則受到語言哲學界的歡迎.建立在經驗主義基礎上的布隆菲爾德語言理論在教學實踐中仍有很大應用價值;而建立在心靈主義哲學基礎上的喬姆斯基語言理論對自動翻譯等人工智能的發展有指導作用.經驗主義和心靈主義並非完全對立,二者在數理語言學中得到了統一,成為數理語言學的哲學基礎
