摘要
本文指出语法研究应该以形式-意义间的一致性这一最简单状态为起点,然后寻找偏离这种一致状态的原因。意义可以分认知意义和语用意义,跟它们对应的相应形式分别为反映距离近远的轨层结构和反映时间先后的线形语序,这两对因素互相制约。此外,成份的大小跟位置之间的互动因素也对语言形式有极大的制约作用。本文也讨论了转换语法从发掘限制到发掘动因的进展。
This article proposes that the isomorphism between form and meaning, being the simplest state, should be taken as the point of departure for syntactic analyses. Syntactic research should explain the deviation from the isomorphism. There are two kinds of isomorphism, one is that between cognitive meaning and orbital position, which is distance-oriented, and the other between pragmatic meaning and linear order, which is of real time. The two factors interact with each other. The heaviness of constituents is an additional factor influencing syntax. The article also briefly discusses the transition from constrains-oriented ‘move α’ to the motivation-oriented minimalist program in generative grammar.
