Three possible ways of exploring the regularities of languge are introspection, elicitation, and corpus.
但是我不太明白究竟什么是introspection和elicitation。 想请教大家，谢谢~~~

谢谢许博士的解释。可是我还是不是特别明白，为什么说这个三个是研究语言规律的方法？

This has to do with what is a linguistic FACT.
Is it in (idealized) speaker's mind or naturally occurring?
If it is "private" language, we can "look inside" (introspection) our mind to think out what is supposed to be grammatical, or we can design some tasks to encourage such language to happen (elicitation, as we find in an interview).
Instead, it is public language which is available to collect by researchers (authentic corpus data).
