摘要
对汉英两种语言中主语的异同进行比较,通过分析认为主语和话题应该属于同一范畴,并从汉语动词的矢量性、句法的相似性和汉语信息的组织原则等角度分析汉英主语的最大区别出现的原因。主张用类典型范畴的理论来定义话题和主语的关系:两者属于同一范畴。话题是非典型成员,其与主语的关系如同不及物动词和动词的关系。
This paper is to discuss whether subject and argument belong to the same category on the basis of the analysis of the similarities and differences between English and Chinese. It also talks about the reasons of the use of argument in Chinese grammar by virtue of verb＇s direction, syntactic iconicity and information organization principles. A conclusion is diawn under the prototype theory that subject and argument are members of the same category. Subject serves as a best exemplar, but argument does not. The relationship between argument and subject is just like that of intransitive verb and verb.
