摘要

维果茨基，20世纪卓越的心理学家，着重研究思维和语言、儿童语言学习与发展的关系。本文评介了维果茨基如何从实验数据出发，厘清了语言与思维的关系：语言和思维有不同的遗传根源，只是在特定的发生学发展阶段语言和思维才相互汇合，从此这两种功能互相影响共同发展；最后，指出维果茨基的时代局限性。%Vygotsky, an excellent psychologist of the 20th century, mainly explores the relationship between language and thought, interaction and engagement in child learner. Then what is the relation between language and thought? According to Vygotsky, Ontogenetically, thought and language have different roots, merging only at certain moment in ontogenesis, after which the two functions develop together under reciprocal influence. This paper aims to introduce how Vygotsky’s conclusion was drawn and points his limits historically.
