Abstract This article argues that there is no narrow syntax, and that the language faculty merely consists of the semantic and phonological components, and linking between these and other systems. It follows as a logical consequence from the latest works of Chomsky (2007 et seq.) and Hauser et al. (2002) who argue that narrow syntax consists of as few features as possible, ideally only recursive embedding and mapping to the interfaces, and Nordström (2014) who shows that the language faculty cannot involve recursive embedding if one wants it to be able to handle discrete infinity, but must merely be a discrete combinatorial system. As such, it shares features with many other mental processes, such as tool making, and, this paper argues, should not be seen as a separate module. The discrete combinatorial processes, as argued here, take place in the semantic and phonological components, which are linked by an axonal pathway. The paper further shows that other potential features of narrow syntax, namely word order, agreement and case (Pinker and Jackendoff 2005; Chomsky 2000 et seq.) can also perfectly well be located within the semantic and phonological components, dispensing with so-called uninterpretable features and leading to the ultimate conclusion that there is no narrow syntax.

没有狭窄语法的语言

摘要本文认为没有狭窄的语法，语言系仅由语义和语音成分组成，并在这些系统和其他系统之间建立联系。这是乔姆斯基（Chomsky，2007年及其后）和豪瑟尔（Hauser）等人的最新著作的合乎逻辑的结果。（2002）认为狭窄的语法应包含尽可能少的功能，理想情况下仅是递归嵌入和映射到接口，而Nordström（2014）则表明语言学院如果希望有人能够处理递归嵌入，则不能涉及递归嵌入。离散无穷大，但必须仅仅是离散的组合系统。因此，它与许多其他思维过程（例如工具制造）具有相同的功能，因此本文认为不应将其视为单独的模块。如此处所述，离散的组合过程，发生在通过轴突途径联系在一起的语义和语音成分中。该论文进一步表明，窄语法的其他潜在特征，即词序，一致和大小写（Pinker和Jackendoff 2005； Chomsky 2000等），也可以很好地位于语义和语音成分内，从而消除了所谓的不可解释性功能并最终得出结论，没有狭窄的语法。
