  • A Study of the Development of Generative Grammar from the Perspective of Changes in the Movement Pattern
    Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2018
    Co-Authors: Haojie Li, Guicheng Wang
    Abstract:

    Movement plays an important role in Generative Grammar. This paper expounds characteristics and motivation of the development of Generative Grammar theory by analyzing and contrasting the movement pattern in different periods of Generative Grammar. From Move- ∝  to the feature checking, and then to the matching of the probe and the target under agreement feature, a series of changes in movement pattern indicate that Generative Grammar is exploring the principled interpretation of the language from the perspective of biolinguistics, the explanation of the characteristics and general principles of the interface system, ultimately to the goal of going beyond the explanatory adequacy.

  • a study on the garden path phenomenon from the perspective of Generative Grammar
    Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2017
    Co-Authors: Haojie Li, Xiangkun Sheng
    Abstract:

    Studies in the past mainly focus on the garden path phenomenon from the perspective of cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics. The adequacies of their explanations are different, but these theories are imperfect. This paper discusses the garden path phenomenon from the perspective of Generative Grammar. The author holds that the θ-attachment principle can analyze the reason of partial ambiguity of the garden path phenomenon effectively and the garden path phenomenon provides evidence for derivation by phase under the framework of MP in Generative Grammar. People can clarify the structure of the garden path phenomenon succinctly and enhance the understanding of language mechanism through the analysis of them from the perspective of Generative Grammar. The faculty of language, which is the biological object, must abide by organism operation law as well. The memories of human beings are limited and cannot load too many syntactic structures at one time. As a result, the faculty of language can simply deal with a limited structure at a time. Only the limited amount of structural information can be accommodated in the active memory and phased spelling can reduce the memory load.

  • On College English Teaching in China from the Perspective of MP in Generative Grammar Theory
    Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2016
    Co-Authors: Haojie Li
    Abstract:

    This paper discusses how the theory of MP in Generative Grammar can be used in College English teaching in China. The author holds that a brand-new teaching paradigm- autonomous English learning-will be built if certain theories and principles of Minimalist Program (MP) are used in China’s college classroom teaching. College teachers of English apply theories of lexicon, derivation by phase under the framework of MP in Generative Grammar and organization strategies into their English teaching and learning appropriately and college students will renew their English learning ideas, their learning interest will be stimulated and their enthusiasm and initiative in active English learning will be enhanced.
