“知道”、“明白”类动词与疑问形式

The Verbs of "Zhidao"、"Mingbai" and Interrogatives

"知道、明白"类动词阻碍疑问语气从宾语从句上升到主句,是非疑问形式,不过它们容易形成非典型疑问句。这类动词属于"具有知识"事件,一般可以带疑问从句和陈述从句,但涉及主语的能力与意愿时不能带陈述从句;"否定达到答案"时可以带疑问从句和陈述从句,而"否定澄清问题"时不能带陈述从句。

The verbs ＂ zhidao/mingbai＂ are question-barriers because they refuse rising of the interrogative mood from obiect clause to main clause, although they are easy to form non-prototypical interrogatives. As ＂getting information＂ event, a verb of this type may own both interrogative clause and declarative clause as its object in ordinary situation, but refuses the declarative clause as object when capability/inclination of the subject is mentioned. It may own both interrogative clause and declarative clause as obiect when the subject has not arrived at the answer, but refuses the declarative clause as objects when consciousness of the subject has not gained.
