语段推导理论框架内“被”字句派生模式新探

A new approach to the derivation of Bei-structure within the theoretical framework of derivation by phase

现代汉语"被"字句结构在语言学界一直是一个聚讼未决的问题,尤其在对"被"字的句法范畴的定位上更是众说纷纭。很多学者曾试图就此语言现象作出一个统一的阐释,以最大限度增大其可学性。然而结果虽令人鼓舞,却远未实现既定目标。作者以Chomsky最简句法理论的新发展———语段推导理论思想为基础,对其作出新的诠释,对典型"被"字句和带有保留宾语的"被"字句的生成演绎出统一的派生模式。

The modern Chinese Bei-structure has always been a controversial issue in Chinese linguistics, especially when it comes to the syntactic category of the character Bei. Many scholars have worked on this issue trying to construct a unified explanation of the linguistic phenomenon so as to maximize the ease in learning it. However, the outcome, though encouraging, is still not satisfactory. Based on the new development of Chomsky＇s minimalist syntactic theory, i.e. the latest thought on the theory of derivation by phase, this paper ventures a new approach to the issue hoping to deduce a unified derivation of both the canonical Bei-structure and the Bei-structure with a retained object.
