摘要:反单向性照应因涉及复杂的句法和语用关系;为检验某些语法理论原则提供了非常难得的素材。本文在对现有的部分解释作出批评分析之后提出;反单向性照应的生成并未经历移位过程;而是在现有句法位置基础生成的。反单向性照应基础生成方式包括两种类型:修饰语位置基础生成和话题位置基础生成。通过前一种方式生成的反单向性照应一般占据主语域带;充当主语中心词的修饰语;通过后一种方式生成的反单向性照应一般占据附加语域带;充当话题。然而;无论前者还是后者;均须遵守约束原则B和C;满足显著性限制、特征相容性限制和I在I内限制。
Counter-unidirectional anaphora involves a complex interplay between syntax and pragmatics,thus providing a rich source of data with which theories of grammar can be tested.After a criticism of some of the available analyses,this paper proposes an alternative explanation,in which it is argued that counter-unidirectional anaphora does not undergo a process of movement.On the contrary,it is base-generated.The ways of generation of counter-unidirectional anaphora fall into two types,i.e.modifier base-generation and topic base-generation.Counter-unidirectional anaphora generated in the first way occupies the subject zone and functions as the modifier of the subject head,whereas counter-unidirectional anaphora generated in the second way occupies the adjunct zone and functions as a topic.Both ways of generation,however,must follow the Binding Principles B and C and satisfy Prominence Constraint,Feature Compatibility Constraint,and I-within-I Constraint.
