摘要
汉语作为VO语序的语言,其状语与动词和宾语之间的语序采用XVO型,迥异于其他VO语言的VOX语序。本文以此为切入点考察了中国境内属于VO语序的少数民族语言,发现也均采用XVO语序为基本语序,然后解释了XVO语序存在的动因更多的是受到“可别度领先”原则和“焦点后置”原则等语用因素共同作用的结果,因此把以汉语为代表的XVO语序语言归入“语用突出型语言”。
As a language with the word order of VO, Chinese exhibits a word order of XVO when the adverbial phrases are present together with verbs and objects, which is totally different from other VO languages where the word order is VOX. Considering this special feature, this paper examines all the ethnic languages in China with the word order of VO, and finds that their dominant word order also tends to be XVO. The paper goes on to explain that XVO word order is motivated largely by the pragmatic factors of both the "identifiability precedence" principle and the "focus postponement" principle. As the languages with XVO word order are more sensitive to the factors of pragmatics, they could be labeled pragmatics-prominent languages.
