Title:: Analogy of“ Children Are Linguists” Viewed from the Perspective ofPeircean Logic for Scientific Discovery

摘要:: 根据皮尔士科学发现的逻辑，溯因推理是构建科学假说进而获得科学发现的重要逻辑工具，而类比则是为科学理论构建具象模型并帮助理论话语有效传播的另一重要思维及话语方式。乔姆斯基“儿童即语言学家”不仅是皮尔士溯因推理在语言心理学领域的成功运用，而且是类比推理及修辞在科学理论话语构建中有效运用的经典范例。从皮尔士科学哲学思想视角，对这一类比的逻辑基础进行深入剖析，有助于更好理解乔姆斯基心智主义内在论，并对上世纪下半叶心智再次回归心理学视野这一转向的跨学科动因获得一些新认识。

Abstract:: According to the Peircean logic for scientific discovery，the abduction is the key logic tool to buildscientific hypotheses which lead to scientific discoveries，while the analogy is also an important logic meansfor building a concrete model for a scientific theory and a discursive instrument for promulgating the scientifictheory and discourse. Chomsky’s analogy of“ Children are linguists” is a successful case in the field ofpsycholinguistics，where the Peircean abduction is effectively used，and a classical example of the successfuluse of the analogical reasoning and rhetoric in building the discourse of a scientific theory. An in-depth analysisof the logic involved in the analogy of“ Children are linguists” from the perspective of the Peircean philosophyof science will lead to a better understanding of Chomsky’s innatism and shed new light on the transdiciplinarymotivation for the return of mentalism to the field of psychology.
