基于语段一致性运算和非同步拼读的约束条件效应

Binding Condition Effects based on Phasal Agree and Non-simultaneous Spell-Out

本文在Chomsky的语段理论(PT)和非同步拼读语段以及特征一致性理论的基础上,结合语段不可穿透条件(PIC)等局部性制约,严格界定并分析了推导约束原则A的LF语段局部约束域,旨在进一步论证照应语/回指语在局部域的最小LF语段(vP,不定式TP,nP)内受到成分统制先行语的约束,约束条件是由携带可解释φ-特征的探针[Var:x]与目标携带不可解释/未赋值变量[Var:]特征的一致性确立。代词在最小PF语段(DP)内不受约束。论文还结合Landau(2010)和Jackendoff(1972)的研究,试图解决心理谓词和体验者句式中照应约束等问题,进一步分析了基于语段一致性与特征共享的约束条件效应,证明了语段理论约束条件效应A、B的差别归于语段拼读的非同步性。

Based on Chomsky＇s （ 2001, 2008 et seq. ） phase theory （ PT ） , non-simultaneous spell-out phases （ Marusic, 2009 ） , and φ-feature probe-goal Agree （p-g） theory （ Miyagawa, 2010; Reuland, 2011 ） and locality constraints （ e.g., PIC ） , this paper properly and systematically investigates the LF phase and PF phase local binding domains for binding conditions A, B respectively. Particularly, anaphors are bound by the c-commanding antecedents in the local domain of minimal LF phases （ vP, non-finite TP, nP ） , and the binding condition is established by the agreement between the probe [Var： x] bearing interpretable φ-fcatures and the goal with uninterpretable/unvalued variable feature [Var： ]. Whereas pronouns are free of binding by c-commanding DPs unbound in local domains of minimal PF phases （ DP, subject-less nP ） , but can be bound in minimal LF phases. Moreover, this paper attempts to solve the anaphorie bindings in psychological predicates and experiencer constructions in Jackendoff （ 1972 ） . Additionally, this article further elucidates the binding effects based on phasal agreement and feature sharing. The difference between binding effects A ＆ B in PT can be attributed to the non-simultaneity of spell-out and Agree （p.g） operations.
