摘　　要：语法是语言研究的一个纠结点,它是对语言的规定、解释还是描述?内在主义和外在主义对此有着截然不同的回答。内在主义认为语法是内在的一种机制,它表现为一系列的原则和规则。而外在主义则认为语法是一种后天形成的,是人对语言形式的一种解释,出于不同的目的,我们可以对同样的语言现象有不同的语言解释。内在主义语言观解决了刺激贫乏难题,但其得出的语法也只是我们认识和分析语言的诸多方法之一。Grammar is the source of principal entanglements in the study of language. Does it serve as a kind of language prescription, a description or a means of explanation？ Internalism and externalism have different points of view. Internalism holds that grammar is a kind of internal mechanism, comprising a series of rules and regulations, but externalism thinks that it is something formula- ted by linguists. A linguist can use different formulations to account for the same language phenomenon to achieve his different linguistic goals. Internalism solves stimulus poverty problem, but the grammar formulated is no more than the means by which we analyse or explain language.
