概念语义学与更简句法结合的研究纲要

A Research Strategy for Combining Conceptual Semantics with Simpler Syntax

本文简要分析了Jackendoff概念语义学和以其为基础的更简句法最新研究动态,提出了以代数组合体系的概念结构(CS)为基础把两个框架结合起来的方法,从跨语言的角度来研究语言尤其汉语和认知。阐明了此系统研究的具体内容并预料了可能产生的突破,勾画要解决的难点,并尝试提出认知研究的设想。旨在为概念结构解释照应约束、量化域、语义限制、句法—语义接口限制等难点寻找一条可行的道路,为生成语言学、语言和认知研究推出一个更广的发展空间。

After briefly analyzing the most updated academics in Jackendoff's conceptual semantics and Simpler Syntax (SS) based on it, we propose a CS(conceptual structure, an algebraic combinatorial system) approach that combines both theories for a study of languages with a particular reference to Chinese, and cognition. We design the details for the systematic project and predict the possible breakthroughs, sketch the difficult obstacles, and finally propose a tentative plan for cognitive study. We try to pursue and pave a feasible way for the solution of anaphora binding, quantification scope, semantic constraints, syntax-semantic interface constraints and other hard nuts, and to set up a more extensive space for studying generative linguistics, linguistic and social cognitive science.
