零形回指探析——以《边城》为例

A Study of Zero Anaphor:Taking The Bordered City As an Example

零形回指在汉语使用中十分普遍,而话语结构特征对于零形回指的使用起重要的制约作用。话语结构特征对零形回指的制约作用体现在微观连续性和宏观连续性两个方面。先行词的启后性和回指对象的承前性越强,所指对象的微观连续性越强。宏观连续性取决于先行词和回指对象各自所在的句子在话语组织中的关系。直接管辖这两个句子的语式在话语结构中所处层次越低,两句之间插入成分越少,所指对象宏观连续性越强。这里以《边城》为例,分析汉语中的零形回指。

Zero anaphor is widely used in Chinese,and the application of it is mainly restricted by features of discourse structure.This restriction is largely acting on micro-continuity and macro-continuity.The stronger of the antecedent＇s future ushering,and the stronger of the referent＇s past inheriting,the stronger of the micro-continuity is.Macro-continuity depends on the relationship of the two respective sentences of the antecedent and anaphor in discourse organization.The lower level of the schema controlling the two sentences in the discourse,and fewer insertions between these two sentences,the stronger the macro-continuity is.This paper is based on the novel The Bordered City to analyze zero anaphor in Chinese.
