无格的同源宾语——最简方案内特征核查得出的结论

Cognate Object with No Case — A Conclusion from Feature Checking in the Minimalist Program

本文从θ准则与格鉴别式在解释同源宾语现象上遇到的问题展开，采用最简方案(Chomsky，1995)作为框架，论证了格鉴别式只适用于主目语NP；同源宾语实质上是一种附加语，只能用[-θ角色，-格]这种特征组合对它加以分析。它不能被移到一致关系投射的范围内进行格特征的核查。此外，笔者认为此结论也适用于其他作状语的附加语NP，它们进行WH-移动的目的是为了核查[+WH]特征，而不是格特征。

This paper starts with the problem posed by the cognate object construction on the θ criterion and the Case Filter in the Minimalist Program(Chomsky,1995) and ends with the conclusion that the Case Filter can only apply to argument while the so called cognate object should be treated as adjunct NPs which can be best analyzed with the feature[- θ role, Case]: although they may undergo movement processes,they cannot move into the domain of Agreement projection and thus be checked. Besides,this conclusion is also applicable to other adjunct NPs which function as adverbials. They can undergo WH movement only to check [WH] feature but not Case feature.
