现代汉语后续句中三种省略结构的性质与允准

The Nature and Licensing Conditions of Three Elliptical Structures in Subsequent Sentences in Mandarin

文章考察了现代汉语后续句中的三种省略结构:"情态动词"结构、"是"字结构和"空宾语"结构,认为在这三种省略结构中,"是"字结构允准的是一个句子或命题省略,表可能的情态动词可以允准一个动词短语省略,而"空宾语"结构所允准的域则最小,只可以缺失一个宾语。与印欧语言的一致关系允准不同,现代汉语后续句中三种省略结构的允准是由中心语动词的词汇性质所决定的,是词汇允准。对现代汉语后续句中不同的空位成分应该加以区别对待。

The article first explores and analyzes three elliptical structures in subsequent sentences in Mandarin Chinese,including auxiliary verb structure,Shi structure and null object structure.Then it further claims that Shi structure could license a sentence or a proposition,that the modality which indicating possibility could license a VP and that null object structure only allows a NP to be missing.Unlike ellipsis licensed by agreement relations in Indo-European languages,the licensing of three elliptical structures in Mandarin is determined by the lexical head of the relevant subsequent sentences.Therefore,the missing constituents in subsequent sentences should be dealt with differently.
