摘要

有人认为语言是柏拉图式的客体,因此生物语言学的本体论是不连贯的。特别是,语言作为一个离散的无穷系统的概念被认为与语言的物理(有限)基础的假设不一致。这些论点是有缺陷的。在这里,我证明了生物语言学和数学柏拉图主义并不是相互排斥和矛盾的,事实上,在一个连贯而引人注目的语言哲学中,它们是相互加强和协调的。这种一致性是通过图灵对无限集的有限过程生成的相干性的证明来实现的。

Biolinguistics and Platonism: Contradictory or Consilient?
It has been argued that language is a Platonic object, and therefore that a biolinguistic ontology is incoherent. In particular, the notion of language as a system of discrete infinity has been argued to be inconsistent with the assumption of a physical (finite) basis for language. These arguments are flawed. Here I demonstrate that biolinguistics and mathematical Platonism are not mutually exclusive and contradictory, but in fact mutually reinforcing and consilient in a coherent and compelling philosophy of language. This consilience is effected by Turing’s proof of the coherency of a finitely procedure generative of infinite sets.
