摘要
语言的结构和边界是一个互为依存的统一体。结构-边界统一体的建立,是语言表达式结构组织的认知基础。结构成分移动只能在该成分的上一层级结构的结构边界以内发生,否则就会破坏结构-边界统一体的完整性,导致表达式不可接受。在SVO语言中,S-V-O式是表达式结构中显性结构-边界建构的基本型式,成分移动只能发生在该成分的上一层级结构即它所在的S-V-O式的结构边界统一体内部,否则就会破坏整个语言表达式结构。通常所说的WH成分移动限制,是"结构-边界原则"作用于语言表达式组织的必然结果。"结构-边界原则"不仅能够统一解释WH-移动限制,而且能解释语言表达式建构中涉及的其它成分移动现象。
Linguistic structure and boundary are an interdependent unity. The establishment of the structure-boundary unity is a cognitive basis underlying the organization of linguistic expressions. Any movement of a structural element can only take place within the boundaries of its next higher-level structure or else the structure-boundary unity will be destroyed, resulting in unacceptability of the expression. S-V-O pattern and its variants are basic forms of the structureboundary unity explicit in syntactic form and elements can only move within the S-V-O pattern. The so-called WH- movement constraints are a necessary result of the operation of ＂structure-boundary principle＂. The principle is not only explanatory for WH-movement constraints but also for any other phenomenon which involves element movement in the organization of linguistic expressions.
