摘要
倒装结构是语言研究的一个热点。尽管前人研究发现了大量事实,但仍有一个现象未能得到很好解释,那就是,在倒装结构中动词后的论元不能进行话题化、关系化和省略操作。本文基于加标理论(Chomsky 2013,2015)对这一现象做原则性解释,提出一条新的加标运算,即弱中心语可以跟另一个短语借助特征匹配帮助一个结构获得标记,这些特征包括Ф-特征和语类选择特征。根据这一加标运算,若倒装结构中动词后的论元进行提升或省略,空语类将出现在没有标记的结构中,整个句子则不能得到恰当的解读。
The inversion construction has been one of the foci in the study of languages.Even though many facts have been uncovered,there is a phenomenon that has not been given a satisfactory account.That is,the post-verbal argument in this construction cannot be topicalized,relativized or elided.This paper tries to provide a principled account for this phenomenon.Based on Chomsky(2013,2015),this paper proposes a new labeling algorithm,which goes like this:a weak head can have its mother node labeled by feature matching,including Ф-feature matching and category selection feature matching.With such an assumption,it can be said that if the post-verbal argument in the inversion construction is raised or elided,the empty category will be in an unlabeled structure.The whole sentence cannot be assigned an appropriate interpretation accordingly.
