浅谈指称词IT它在英汉语篇中的回指用法对比

本文在前人的研究成果基础上,基于实际的语料分析,对英语中的指示代词It和汉语中相对应的它在回指方面作了对比分析。结果发现,it和它在两种语言中的回指用法基本相同。其不同之处主要在于it可以回指人而它不可以,it回指事情的情况相对较多而它的这种用法极少。此外,it不能单独作限定成分来回指,而它可以。

On the basis of the previous researching results and real corpus analysis, this paper contrashvely analyzes the anapttonc usage of it and ＂它＂ in English and Chinese respectively. The results indicate that their anaphoric usage in the two languages is similar. And the only difference lies in the fact that ＂it＂ can be used to refer to person, while ＂它＂ cannot, and ＂it＂ can also be used to refer to the whole matter mentioned before but ＂它＂ cannot. Besides, ＂it＂ cannot be used as a definite itself while ＂它＂ can.
