摘要
本文试以语言类型学为切入点,从词序的角度对英、德两种语言进行对比研究。英语和德语同属印欧语系的西日尔曼语分支,但这两种有如此亲缘关系的语言却在各自的词序方面有显著不同。结合自身的语言学习经历,作者把英、德两种语言的词序对比研究放置于语言习得的视角,即从作为第二语言的英语习得对比研究作为第三语言的德语习得。在回顾前人有代表性的词序研究结论和数据的基础上,通过对比和分析英、德两种语言中的多种例句,概括出二者在词序上的不同:英语的词序相对固定,而德语的词序相对自由丰富得多。
This paper tries to make a comparative study of word order between English and German. English and German both belong to West-Germanic branch, the Indo-European language family, but the two kindred languages do have remarkable differences in their respective word order. From the author＇s experience of language learning, the paper puts this comparative study of word order from the angle of language acquisition, i.e. to study German as a third language from the perspective of English as a second language. After the literary review of some representative remarks and statistics that deal with word order of the languages of the world, the author of this paper makes a comparison between English and German through various examples. By comparing the two languages the author generalizes the differences between relatively fixed word order in English and relatively free word order in German with explanation for such differences.
