摘　　要：S.Pinker提出了“语言本能”说,反对“语言是文化产物”的传统观点,主张语言是一个进化而来的天赋模块。他采用语言的生物学研究方法,通过对语言的宏观研究和微观剖析,对正常儿童和特殊儿童语言习得的考察,对语言异常现象的神经生理学研究,证实了语言在各个层面上的普遍性及共同的进化根源,从而论证了语言是人类的一种本能。Objecting to the traditional view that language derives from culture, S. Pinker proposes the theory of Language Instinct and claims that language is a innate module deriving from evolution. With an approach to the biology of language, through the macro - scope research and microcosmic analysis to the language itself, and investigation into the process of language acquisition in both normal and handicapped children, and study of various kinds_ of language abnormal neuro - physiologically, he argues forcefully for the language universals in various level as well as the common evolutionary origin. Then, he validates that human language competence is human instincts.
