Theta-Roles,arguments,and GF——Case-marking effect and language variation

导出

摘要本文讨论格与题元、论元和语法功能项(GF)的关系,并从格标的角度探讨现代汉语为什么与英、日、韩等语言相比在主宾语题元的选择上具有较大的自由度。本文认为,语言间的一个重要差异就是NP是否需要通过赋格来允准;语言可分为格标语言与非格标语言。在格标语言中,NP只有被赋格才可以得到允准,而在非格标语言中,NP可以不通过赋格来得到允准。由于非格标语言中占据主宾语这类GF位置的NP无格,动词的题元可以不按常规释放,NP可以不通过占据题元位置来获得题元,NP所占据的句位可以不是题元位置。主宾语如果不占据题元位置,就可以不是论元。本文认为,现代汉语主宾语的选择自由正是源自这一格标效应。 This paper investigates how Case interacts with theta-roles,arguments and grammatical functions(GF)in syntax,and argues that the unselectiveness of subjects and objects in Chinese results from the fact that NPs in Chinese are not marked for Case.It makes a distinction between Case-marking languages and non-Case-marking languages,and claims that in non-Case-marking languages,an NP may be licensed neither by Case nor by syntactic theta-marking mechanism and thus may not function as an argument when appearing in some grammatical function positions.
