摘要
通过考查书面语篇中主题省略与重复的现象,可以看出,从主题之间的线性关系着眼,主题串连观念对某些现象未能妥善解释。经带入语篇与语用的考虑后,指出:(1)语篇的整体格局(schema)可以提供主题,毋须一定在主题串的开端标明。(2)前句后部(尤其是宾语)往往能以零形式作次句的主题。(3)语篇中某些主题是伪主题,从语篇表意的层次看与其它主题并非处于相同层次,因此不会阻断主题串。(4)重复同一主题是出于宣示主题(topic-announcing)的需要,这由语用考虑而非逻辑角度决定。
This essay tends to account for the deletion and repetition of sentence topics in written discourses, it points out that the concept of topic-chain, which focuses on the relationship between the topic and its comments, is inadequate to provide the answers. Discourse structure and its pragmatic function must be brought in to give a fuller account. The article concluded that： （1） A topic can be provided by the discourse schema, thus the deletion of an overt topic at sentence initial; （2） The rear position （object, in particular） of the preceding sentence can often serve as the zero-anaphoric topic of the following sentence; （3） There are pseudo-topics which do not helong to the same stratum as other topics, and therefore do not break a topic-chain; （4） The repetition of topic is due to the need of topic-announcing, motivated by pragmatic rather than logical needs.
