摘要
语言的生物机制是生物语言学的核心议题,作为该领域的前沿成果之一,结构基因组学有关FOXP2基因与人类语言能力关系的研究有望为解决语言生物机制的争议性理论问题带来曙光。对KE家族和英国男孩CS的研究从共时角度审视了语言基因突变对人类语言使用及理解的重要影响;探索FOXP2的进化之旅则从历时角度揭示了语言基因对人类演进的重大意义。在此基础上,结构基因组学与语言进化比较研究法的结合可从侧面为回答广义/狭义语言能力与动物交流之间的关系提供科学证据,同时也使我们有理由相信广义语言能力可能还包括一个语言基因组系统。
The biological mechanism of language is the core topic of biolinguistics. As one of the frontiers in biolinguistics, the study on the relationship between FOXP2 and human language faculty belongs to structural genomics and may shed light on the controversial theoretical issues about the biological mechanism of language. The studies on KE family and a British boy named CS could examine the great impact of the mutation of the language gene on the use and understanding of human language. Besides exploring the evolution of FOXP2 may illustrate the significance of the language gene on how humans were evolved. Based on the above facts, the hybrid of structural genomics and comparative studies on EVOLANG may provide scientific evidence to answer how FLB and FLN are connected with animal communication. Furthermore, the facts also make us believe that FLB may also include a language genome system.
