الاتجاه العقلاني و أثره في دراسة اللغة

Abstract EN

The mental approach appears as a new trend in language study.

Those who believe in this approach claim that the human mind has pervious ideas and knowledge about feelings and experiences and that the language is an integral part of intuitive knowledge in language this requires a special consideration during linguistic study and analysis.

This had led to the fact that generative linguistic analyses language by developing hypothesis able to explain observable issues while studying the relations between them using deductive design because language is a mental act that appears in the form that humans express different items using linguistic symbols.

He imagines things when he talks about and that humans do not transform these items in their eyes, but compensate them by linguistic symbols.

As such, language used to express items comes in the form of symbols utterances making human actions a mental one per se; which is a characteristic distinguishing human from other creatures such as animals.
