ABSTRACT: Background: Recently, it was proposed by Cai the semantic/syntactic/episodic model of
native language to improve the common word/grammar model, supplementing the
episodic association of words in clause or sentence by meanings. Purpose: In this article, it is aimed to support the semantic/syntactic/ episodic model with diverse evidences. Method: It was the best and most convincing method by integrative review of literatures
in various related fields to support the semantic/syntactic/episodic model. Results and Discussions: It is first adopted such various linguistic
progressions as linguistic fluency, word congruency, and so on, to support the
semantic/syntactic/episodic model. Then, it is demonstrated as necessary to use
the episodic association of word meanings to determine one congruent meaning
for some polymeaning words in sentence and paragraph, thus supporting the
indispensability of “episodic” as the third linguistic component. Finally, it is divided the memories
into the declarative remote memory, procedural memory and declarative
immediate/ recent episodic memory, corresponding to the three semantic/syntactic/epi-sodic
components of language, respectively, supporting the semantic/syntac-tic/episodic
division of language. Conclusion: It is evident that the supports to the
simple and intuitive semantic/syntactic/episodic model of language are diverse
and could enhance its propagation and applications.
