汉语中的两种控制从句

Two Types of Control-clause in Chinese

汉语中的从句根据其[±Tense]的语法属性可分为定式从句(finiteclause)和不定式从句(nonfiniteclause)。一个从句是否具有[+Tense]的语法属性可以通过该从句能否允许时间副词的出现来检验。汉语的控制从句(controlclause)按其从句类型可分为两种:定式控制从句和不定式控制从句。这种处理更准确地记述了汉语的实际特点,而且也证明了Landau(2004)对控制现象的分析不适用于汉语,通过[Tense]、[Agr]这两个语法属性的组合无法妥善说明汉语的实际情况。

Abstract This paper examines the types of control clauses in Chinese and divide them into finite clause and nonfinite clause by their [±Tense] feature. Whether a clause does have [±Tense] feature or not can be checked by the occurrence of the time adverb. This observation describes the characteristic of Chinese accurately. Moreover, it illustrates that Landau（2004） analysis of control cannot be applied to Chinese since the combination of [Tense] and [Agr] does not adequately reflects the linguistic facts of Chinese.
