浅析汉语分裂句中的“是”

An Analysis of "Shi" in Chinese Cleft Sentences

理论界对汉语分裂句中"是"的词性、句法功能和使用条件的研究还很不充分。从语言学角度看,"是"具有副词的性质,用以标记焦点。"是"的使用条件跟其后的成分是离散的还是连续的有关,也跟其后变项数目多少有关。

Research on the part of speech, syntactic status and usage of＂shi＂ in Chinese cleft sentences is far from complete. From linguistic perspective, ＂shi＂ is a focus marker having the status of an adverb. Its usage is determined by the discrete or continuous feature of the accompanying words and the number of variables in the construction.
