英汉语主语小句中的PRO的分布和所指

The Distribution and Reference of PRO in Subject Clause in Chinese and English

自从乔姆斯基提出用控制理论来解释英语中PRO的分布和语义所指以来,不少汉语的学者也试图用这一理论来解释汉语的PRO现象,不同的学者得出的结论不尽相同,本文通过对英汉语中主语小句的主语位置的PRO的分布和所指的分析,得出在该位置的汉语和英语的PRO的所指是相同的。

Since Chomsky put forward his Control Theory to explain the distribution and reference of PRO in English, quite a lot of scholars have been trying to explain the Chinese phenomenon based on his theory and different scholars have come to different conclusions. In this short essay, the distribution and reference of PRO in subject clause in English and Chinese are discussed, and fmally the conclusion is drawn that it is the same as far as the distribution and reference of PRO in subject clause are concerned.
