存在型强势主位及其系统网络

Existential Enhanced Theme and Its System Network

本文从加的夫系统功能语法的角度探讨存在型强势主位结构中的主位选择,回顾Fawcett和邓仁华(2005)对存在型强势主位系统网络的研究,指出他们的网络并未穷尽存在型强势主位结构中的所有的主位选择。本研究表明,除"简单载体"外,"受事—载体"、"施事—载体"、"地点"、"属性"、"被拥有物"、"过程和地点"、"过程和方向"或"过程和受事—载体"还可充当强势主位。在此基础上,本文提出一个更完整的存在型强势主位系统网络。

This paper approaches the thematic choices in the existential enhanced theme construction from the perspective of the Cardiff （model of Systemic Functional） Grammar. It reviews the system networks of the existential enhanced theme of Fawcett and Deng （2005） and points out that their networks do not exhaust the thematic choices in the EET construction. It is revealed that besides Simple Carrier, such participant roles as Affected-Carrier, Agent-Carrier, Location, Attribute, Pos- sessed, and even the Process and its dependent roles （Location, Direction, or Affected-Carrier） can also serve as the existential enhanced theme. On the basis of the finding, a more comprehensive system network of the existential enhanced theme is proposed.
