摘　　要：From the perspective of the poverty of stimulus argument and the cognitive development theory, this paper attempts to reveal the mechanism of language acquisition. The poverty of stimulus argument theoretically proves the hypothesis that based on their finite linguistic experience, children can construct their complete language knowledge system. Language acquisition is the process of acquisition of core grammar and of mental representation of vocabulary. Parameter values must be set in the process of children＇s core grammar acquisition. Vocabulary of natural language is stored and processed in the form of conceptual representation, which is associated with syntactic structures by projection rules and bounded by various well-formed rules. The cognitive development theory claims that language acquisition is a development process of universal grammar into particular grammar, which is redescribed at a higher level.刺激贫乏论从理论上论证了以下假设：儿童依靠有限的语言经验能够构建出完整的语言知识系统。这种能力得益于普遍语法，普遍语法构成了语言习得的先天物质基础。语言学习过程是核心语法的习得过程和词汇在大脑申进行心理表徵的过程。核心语法的习得需进行参数的设置。自然语言的词汇是以概念表徵的形式加以储存和处理的，通过映射规则和句法结构进行匹配，受各种规范化规则制约。语言认知观认为：语言习得是普遍语法转变为个体语法的表徵重达的发展过程。本文从刺激贫乏论和认知发展观的角度封语言习得机制进行了整合研究。
