Our experience of linguistic phenomena is a language-learning activity, and what we acquire is not the retention of linguistic phenomena per se, but the mental retention or memory of the idea of such phenomena, which originates from the reproduction and depiction of phenomena and results from experience, i.e., the experience of linguistic phenomena.
Here we are reminded once again of Locke's "blank slate"tabula rasa, and if we call the linguistic ideas acquired in the experience of linguistic phenomena linguistic pictures left on the blank slate, then such linguistic pictures are not innate, but only the source of the experience of linguistic phenomena can be the hand that traces them, although such a blank slate The whiteboard does provide us with an important place for tracing.
At the same time, since the linguistic picture on the whiteboard is generated in the experience of linguistic phenomena, such a picture is not the whiteboard itself after all, i.e., the whiteboard of the mind can be the lifelong accompaniment or material basis of the linguistic cognizer, while the picture of linguistic phenomena is the fruit of experience built on this material basis. The picture of the idea of language that appears on the whiteboard does not guarantee its own existence and the consistency and simultaneity of the existence of the "whiteboard", but the picture of language as a form of the idea of language exists within the mind, and such "existence" is different from the "existence" of the material basis. Unlike the existence of the "blank slate" as a material basis, it can only be a stage in the time of existence of the "blank slate", and its duration on the blank slate of the mind depends directly on the time when this linguistic picture remains or is remembered, and once such a Obviously, such disappearance does not mean the disappearance of the "blank slate" unless the disappearance of the speech actor's existence as a rational subject occurs within the same period of time as the disappearance of the related linguistic concept.
Therefore, based on the reality of our human experience of linguistic phenomena, as long as we follow the path of empirical acquisition of the idea of linguistic phenomena, as long as we follow the path of empirical acquisition of knowledge of linguistic phenomena, regardless of the differences in our "material basis" and the quality of our "blank slates As long as we follow the path of experiential acquisition of knowledge of linguistic phenomena, regardless of the differences in our "material bases" and the quality of our "whiteboards," the "material bases" or "whiteboards" that are our experiential linguistic phenomena must always have their own pre-existence, otherwise, we may encounter the innate existence of linguistic concepts. Otherwise, we risk experiencing the confusion of the existence of an innate conception of language, and the "blank slate" will have to change its status from then on.
