从词组结构规则到裸词组结构理论——生成语法理论的简约主义追求

From Phrase Structure Rule to Bare Phrase Structure——Minimalism Pursuing of Generative Grammar

词组结构理论是生成语法理论研究的重要部分。生成语法理论几经发展,词组结构的内容也不断发生变化。从理论初期的词组结构规则发展到最简方案时期的裸词组结构,从规模庞大的句子生成规则系统到强概括力和生成力的二分叉结构,这是生成语法理论对简约主义不懈追求的体现。同时,其理论研究的科学性也得到了验证。

Phrase Structure is an essential part of Generative Grammar. Throughout the development of Generative Grammar from Early Standard period to Minimalism period, phrase structure rule is simultaneously undergoing development. It concludes from the development from phrase structure rule in the Early Period to bare phrase structure in the Minimalist Program, from the period of a bundles of rules to generate a sentence to that of a set binary bare phrase schema, that the revision of phrase structure rule tells the relentless pursuit of Minimalism; moreover, its essence of being scientific is verified.
