语言的变量结构:从词汇语法到语篇语义

Variate Structures of Language:From Lexico-grammar to Discourse Semantics

语言的变量结构研究涉及到对语言的基本结构和语言实质的理解。本文拟从功能认知的角度,从词汇语法和语篇语义两个层面上考察语言变量结构的界定、分类和各变量结构之间的关系。文章认为,语言存在三种变量结构,即多变量结构、协变量结构和单变量结构,而对于变量结构的分析和解释应考虑到功能关系、语法认知和语篇的结构性与非结构性以及语篇衔接等因素。

The study of variate structures of language contributes to the understanding of basic structures of language and its nature.Taking the strata of lexicogrammar and discourse semantics into the primary consideration,this paper attempts a functional-cognitive approach to the definition,categorization of variate structures of language and the interconnections between these structures.The paper holds that there exist three types of variate structures,i.e.multivariate structure,covariate structure and univariate structure,and that the analysis and interpretation of these variate structures has to be based on determinants such as functional relationship,grammatical cognition,particularly focusing on functional relationship,grammatical cognition,structural and non-structural texture,and textual cohesion.
