According to a structural view, language has the following characteristics:
(1) Elements in a language are produced in a rule-governed (structured) way.
(2) Language samples could be exhaustively described at any structural level of description.
(3) Language is structured like a pyramid, that is, linguistic levels are systems within systems.
根据结构观点，语言具有以下特征：
(1)语言中的元素是以规则支配(结构化的)方式产生的。
(2)语言样本可以在描述的任何结构层次上进行详尽的描述。
(3)语言结构类似金字塔，即语言层次是系统中的系统。
