摘要
Harris和Campbell(1995)构建了一个完整的句法演变理论框架,三种句法演变机制(重新分析、扩展和借用)为其核心。以这一句法演变理论框架为基础,尝试对英语格的演变原因进行阐释。主要包括范畴类别型原因分析和成分组构型原因分析。英语语法的一致性原则和语音与屈折形态产生的歧义性均为英语格的"重新分析"创造了条件,"重新分析"产生的"创新性表达式"通过"扩展"这一演变机制进而完成演变过程。
Harris and Campbell（1995） established an integrated theoretical framework of syntactic change,in which the three basic mechanisms of syntactic change are hypothesized as the core of it.Based upon this theoretical framework,we seek to investigate the causes and explanations of the evolution of case in English.There are mainly two types of analysis involved in the process,including the category-labels-based analysis and the constituency-based analysis.The grammatical agreement principle of English language,as well as the ambiguity caused by the pronunciation and inflectional morphemes,lays the foundation for ＂reanalysis＂ of English case forms.Thereupon ＂exploratory expressions＂ resulted from ＂reanalysis＂ finally complete the process by means of the mechanism ＂extension＂.
