约束理论与英汉反身代词语法功能对比分析

Binding Theory and Comparative Analysis of English and Chinese Reflexive Pronoun on Grammatical Function

乔姆斯基的转换生成语法理论构建了以管辖的概念为基础的一套约束理论,其中规定照应语必须在管辖语域内受约束,英语和汉语的反身代词属于乔姆斯基名词词组分类中的照应语,两种语言中的反身代词都有自己独有的特征。文章拟用乔姆斯基的约束理论对英汉反身代词进行对比分析,尝试其在语法功能上的相似性和特性。

Chomsky＇s Transformational Generative Grammar constructs the Binding Theory which is formed on the basis of the concept of governing. The Binding Theory provides that anaphor must be bound in the governing category, and the reflexive pronouns in Chinese and English are anaphor according to Chomsky＇s theory. This paper aims to analyze and compare the reflexive pronouns of the two different languages from the point of grammatical function with the help of Chomsky＇ s Binding Theory.
